Shashlik on cognac

6 servings

120 minutes

Shashlik with cognac is an exquisite dish inspired by French gastronomic traditions, where alcohol is used to enhance flavor depth. Marinated in cognac, the meat gains incredible tenderness and a rich aroma that blends with spices, onions, and fresh herbs. Cloves and basil add a subtle spiciness, while parsley refreshes the aftertaste. After long marination, the meat becomes tender and infused with noble cognac notes. When grilled over coals, it develops a caramelized crust while retaining juiciness inside. This shashlik is perfect for festive dinners and friendly gatherings where taste sophistication and culinary art are appreciated. It is usually served with a light salad and a glass of good wine that complements its aristocratic essence.
