40 minutes

Pork shashlik with kefir and onion is a juicy and aromatic dish perfect for a summer picnic or a cozy family dinner. Although it is associated with American cuisine, it resembles traditional Eastern marinades that use fermented dairy products to impart tenderness and rich flavor to the meat. Kefir not only makes the pork incredibly tender but also adds a light tanginess that harmonizes with the natural sweetness of the onion and spicy seasonings. The shashlik turns out juicy, with a soft texture and rich taste. Thanks to prolonged marination, the meat absorbs aromas, revealing itself in every bite. This versatile dish can be served with greens, fresh vegetables, or a light sauce that highlights its flavor nuances.
