Marinated Onions for Shashlik with Lemon
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Very often, shashlik is marinated together with onions right away. Then some people grill the onions along with the meat over the fire, and some even throw them away (yes, yes, that happens too). I, however, would like to suggest making the onion a separate appetizer. It's very important to balance the flavor in the marinade. This is usually done with sugar, but I recommend trying to add dates. The taste turns out amazing. Serve the appetizer at the table.

3. Place the onion in a small jar or a convenient container. Pour in the marinade and leave for at least 20 minutes. During this time, shake the jar several times or gently stir the onion. It’s best to leave the onion for a couple of hours so it absorbs the marinade thoroughly.
