Skewered kebabs in the oven
Description
The recipe won't take much time. In fact, there's nothing easier than preparing shashlik in the oven. You need to marinate the shashlik just as you would if cooking it outdoors, prepare delicious sauces, and bake it in the oven using the "Grill" function—though you can manage without it. Don't forget to turn the shashlik occasionally so it cooks evenly on all sides. I recommend soaking wooden skewers in cold water beforehand so they don't burn in the hot oven. Be sure to make tzatziki sauce—shashlik tastes incredibly delicious with it. Serve hot.
