Shashlik

If you enjoy meat dishes, you should try shashlik. This delicious meal is one of the most popular dishes in Uzbek cuisine, and this dish refers to a type of shish kabob eaten in many nations throughout Central Asia, the Caucasus, and former Soviet republics such as Uzbekistan, Georgia, Armenia, Lithuania, and Ukraine. In fact, shashlik is derived from shashlyk, the Russian word for "shish kabob."

Shashlik is generally cooked with lamb, although this meal can also be made with various meats like as beef, chicken, and venison. Ground beef or fatty beef (or lamb) meat rolls are popular, as are skewered and cooked chicken legs. For a truly unforgettable experience, try grilled skewers laced with horse meat.

Shashlik skewers are often threaded with either simply meat or alternating bits of meat, fat, mushrooms, and veggies. If you prefer vegetarian fare, you can also order grilled skewers of potatoes, vegetables, or mushrooms.
