Caucasian-style pork shashlik
Description
Caucasian-style pork shashlik is very delicious and tender. The pomegranate juice marinade gives the meat a unique, delicate flavor with a pleasant tang. If you appreciate good shashlik but have never tried marinating pork in pomegranate juice, I think you'll definitely enjoy this method. I recommend marinating the Caucasian-style pork shashlik overnight, so it has enough time to absorb the flavors properly. Actually, I insist on it. The shashlik must be thoroughly infused with the pomegranate marinade, otherwise you'll miss the whole pleasure of it. Good luck! ;)
Instructions

Step 1
We thoroughly wash the meat and dry it with a paper towel.

Step 2
Now, a very important point! Cut the meat. The pieces should be neither too large nor too small. But it's better to make them a bit larger. Small pieces will shrink during frying, and the shashlik will be spoiled.

Slice the onion into rings and half-rings.

Step 5
Then add vinegar or lemon, and pour pomegranate juice over the meat. The juice should completely cover each piece; if there's not enough juice, add more. Once again, thoroughly press everything down with your hands, cover with a lid, and refrigerate overnight.

We prepare fairly hot coals. Skewer the meat onto the skewers and grill for about 20 minutes, constantly turning the shashlik.
