Schaschlik Kebab with a Curry Tomato sauce

Jump to recipe

This Shisch Kebab or Schaschlik (Shashlik) recipe brings back memories of Family get-togethers in my childhood. It is also remembered as 80’s party food, just like the Hawaii toast. These Kebabs were an easy dish we had prepared on skewers, sometimes a day before, and then cooked on low in a curry-tomato sauce.

We ate this meal often at small gatherings. I especially remember this Kebab devoured at a Grill Bude, a BBQ Booth in town with some fries. Preferable sides to the Schaschlik is a Crusty French Baguette to scoop out the Schaschlik sauce, fries or rice

The meat can be frozen for 30 minutes for easier cutting. I would use Pork and/or Beef (Chicken to your preference), Bacon, Paprika and Onions all cut in cubes and then slide on a skewer. Push down the meat as an end piece. With that a homemade decadent Curry-Tomato sauce. If you like a shortcut you can order it here on Amazon: Curry Schaschlik Kebab sauce

Optional: The Kebabs can be charred on a Charcoal Grill first, then finish baking on low in the oven with the Curry-Tomato sauce

Schaschlik Kebab can also be grilled, about 5 to 8 minutes each side, then placed at 300F in the oven, cover with warm Curry Ketchup or order: Schaschlik sauce on Amazon. Keep warm until all skewers are finished. Besides Onion slices and Peppers, you can also add Zucchini and/or Squash slices, Cherry tomatoes to the skewers.
I recommend metal skewers for the grill. If you use the the wooden kind or Bamboo, these skewers need to be moistened first. You can buy these Skewers on Amazon
