Shashlik in Kefir Marinade

Cultural Context

Shashlik, a traditional dish from the Caucasus region, has become a beloved part of Russian cuisine. Often enjoyed during gatherings and outdoor barbecues, this dish features marinated meat skewers grilled to perfection. The use of kefir in the marinade tenderizes the meat while adding a unique tangy flavor. Today, shashlik is celebrated not just in Russia but across many countries, with variations reflecting local tastes and ingredients.
