Equipment

  • 2x baking sheet (33 x 40 cm (15,7 x 13 inch))
  • 28 skewers, any

Ingredients

For shashlik

  • 2 ½ kg (5.6 lbs) pork shoulder
  • 700 g (1.6 lbs) pork belly cut into not too thin slices
  • 1 ½ kg (3.3 lbs) bell peppers (red, yellow and green)
  • 2.1 kg (4.7 lbs) onions
  • 700 g (1.6 lbs) pork liver
  • 2 liters (67,6 fl oz/ about 8 ½ cups) vegetable stock

For the sauce

  • 875 ml (30 fl oz/ 3 ¾ cups) curry Gewürzketchup
  • 200 ml (6,8 fl oz/ about ¾ cup) water
  • salt, paprika powder and curry to sprinkle shashlik before serving

Instructions

  • Cut pork, pork belly, liver and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Peel and cut onions into quarters. Remove the inner cores and separate the remaining onion parts into two layers, until you have had used up all the onions.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 °C (395 °F). Put the meat and vegetables alternating on skewers. Start with meat, followed by bell pepper, pork belly, onions, liver and then onions. Start over until the skewer is full. It's best to end with the meat, since it holds better. Repeat the process until you have used up all the meat and vegetables.
  • Arrange shashliks on the baking sheets. We've used 2 baking sheets for this recipe. Sprinkle part of the onion inner cores and the remaining peppers (if you have some) on top and then pour over half of the vegetable stock. Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and let cook for 30 minutes.
  • In the meantime make the sauce. Simply combine ketchup and water in the pot and warm over medium heat. If you're not a fan of store-bought ketchup feel free to make homemade curry ketchup.
  • After 30 minutes remove the baking sheet from the oven, turn the shashliks and reduce the heat to 180 °C (356 °F). Let cook for another 30 minutes and done. Pour the remaining vegetable stock on the next baking sheet with shashliks and follow the cooking steps you did to the first baking sheet. Serve immediately!!
  • Put one or two shashliks on a plate, sprinkle with salt, paprika and curry powder. Spread the sauce nicely on top and sprinkle once again with paprika and curry powder. Serve with bread rolls, homemade bread, fried potatoes or french fries.
