For an authentic touch, use dry red wine from the Republic of Georgia, such as Saperavi or Kindzmarauli. Marinating the lamb overnight yields the most flavorful and tender results. Serve the Shashlik with a side of traditional Georgian bread, such as shoti, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for an authentic culinary experience. Consider using a charcoal grill for a smoky flavor that complements the lamb beautifully. Adjust the amount of garlic and pepper to your personal preference. Some prefer a more robust flavor profile.

Follow The Directions
01
StepHalve the lemon and extract its juice. Cut two rinds into chunks. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine the lemon juice and rinds with red wine, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Introduce the lamb, ensuring it's evenly coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours, or up to 18 hours, allowing the flavors to meld deeply. (10 minutes)
03
StepRemove the lamb from the marinade, gently shaking off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Thread the lamb pieces onto skewers. (15 minutes)
04
StepPreheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
05
StepGrill the skewers, turning them occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers at least 130°F (60°C) for a medium finish, approximately 15 minutes. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness.
