15 minutes

Red wine marinade for shashlik is a refined part of Russian cuisine, inspired by the traditions of cooking meat over an open fire. The combination of dry red wine, water, and spicy thyme notes gives the shashlik depth of flavor and tenderness. Onion and garlic enhance the aroma, while salt balances the taste nuances. This marinade makes the meat tender, enriching it with noble wine notes and a subtle herbal trail. With three hours of marinating, the meat becomes juicy and gains a rich flavor, perfect for grilling over coals. It's an ideal option for summer picnics and friendly gatherings, allowing you to enjoy the harmonious and traditional taste of real shashlik.
