Most often, shashlik is made from pork. To marinate the meat well, you need to choose a fresh part of the carcass with small streaks of fat - the neck or ham. When preparing a classic marinade, add onion cut into rings. It gives more juice and soaks the meat well. The recipe for marinated shashlik also includes vinegar. You can choose any: apple, balsamic or grape. Shashlik with vinegar will be soft and juicy.

Shashlik with vinegar - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of vinegar for the marinade?

Yes, you can substitute apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, or white wine vinegar for a slightly different flavor profile while still achieving a tender result.

How can I make this recipe vegetarian?

Replace the pork with firm tofu, mushrooms, or seitan, and use the same marinade for a flavorful vegetarian alternative.

Can I marinate the meat for less than 5 hours?

While 5 hours is ideal, marinating for at least 2 hours will still impart flavor, though the meat may not be as tender.

What sides pair well with Shashlik?

Rice, grilled vegetables, pita bread, or a fresh cucumber-tomato salad complement the bold flavors of Shashlik wonderfully.

Can I freeze the marinated meat for later use?

Yes, freeze the marinated meat in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before cooking.

Is this recipe suitable for a low-carb diet?

Absolutely! Just skip carb-heavy sides and serve with low-carb options like grilled zucchini or cauliflower rice.

Can I use chicken instead of pork for this recipe?

Yes, chicken thighs or breast work well—adjust marinating time to 3-4 hours to prevent over-tenderizing.

How long can I store cooked Shashlik in the fridge?

Cooked Shashlik stays fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Reheat gently to retain juiciness.
