STORY
Roughly translated from the Russian language, shishliki means "marinated meat". It truly is Saskatchewan cuisine, originating with Doukabour settlers in and around the Canora - Kamsack region. Shishliki is traditionally made with lamb (our preference for sure).
INGREDIENTS
Saskatchewan Lamb, lemon juice, onion, salt, garlic, dextrose, corn starch, spices
COOKING TIPS
I say it over and over... Don't undercook the shish! You need some good grill/broiler marks on there (it's just extra flavour) for it to be done right, otherwise it will be too tender (ie. mushy). Here's two options:
Option #1 - On the grill: After thawing, slip the marinated chunks of meat on skewers, and put on a medium-high grill. Lid down is best, turn after 5-6 minutes. It needs to have the edges getting a little black to know it's done. (Total cooking time is about 10-12min, depending on your grill).
Option #2 - In the pan: Turn your oven broiler on. Toss the shishliki into a pan (bonus if your pan can do double duty in the oven), and saute on a medium-high heat. You might toss in some chunks of onion, zucchini, mushroom for a more complete meal. After 7-8 minutes, put your pan under the broiler to get those edges crisping up. (Total cooking time: 15 minutes).
