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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley for an added burst of flavor.

Step 9

Serve the vegetarian beef shashlik hot, either on its own or with sides like rice or naan bread for a complete meal.
