Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Plant-based beef chunks
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 large Red onion
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 60 ml Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 8 Skewers
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade: in a bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
Cut the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion into large chunks, roughly the size of the plant-based beef chunks, ensuring even cooking.
Place the plant-based beef chunks and the cut vegetables (excluding cherry tomatoes) into the marinade. Stir to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing flavors to meld.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Once marinated, thread the plant-based beef, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes alternately onto the skewers, creating colorful and appetizing combinations.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers onto the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and have distinct grill marks.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley for an added burst of flavor.
Serve the vegetarian beef shashlik hot, either on its own or with sides like rice or naan bread for a complete meal.
