Tart-and-sweet and slightly astringent pomegranate juice the base for
|
the marinade in the recipe for this popular dish. True Russian style?
|
Da! Russian overabundance of calories? Nyet! Trim away all fat from
|
meat. Cut into 2" chunks. Place in small bowl together with onion,
|
garlic, shallot, parsley, cayenne pepper and pomegranate juice. Cover
|
and refrigerate overnight. Remove meat from marinade and pat dry.
|
Skewer the meat, using four substantial skewers. Brush with oil.
|
Broil under very high heat, turning often until done. Some prefer it
|
slightly pink (12 minutes). Well done will take about 20 minutes.
|
Remove from skewers and serve on a heated plate with Kasha.
|
VARIATIONS: Include 2 green peppers cut into 12 chunks, 4 tomatoes
|
cut into quarters, and 4 small, white onions, peeled and cut in half.
|
Skewer alternate chunks of vegetable and meat chunks. Proceed
|
according to recipe.
