Shashlik Caucasian - From The Russian Tea Room
Shashlik means shish kebab in Russian (a word is of Turkish origin). From the Caucasus region, which includes Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and some parts of Russia.
Shashlik in its most basic form is pieces of meat grilled on a skewer over coals. The “classic” shashlik should be made with mutton. That’s how it’s usually made in the Caucasus, where the dish originated, and where sheep ranching abounds.
