A holiday in nature without barbecue is considered incomplete.
But what to do if you have firmly decided to lose weight, and juicy and aromatic pieces of meat are just asking to be put in your mouth?
It is enough to approach the preparation of the dish wisely - as a result, you will get a shashlik with moderate calorie content and reduced fat and cholesterol content.
Choose lean meat
Your choice is meat that is high in protein and low in fat. Turkey, chicken, rabbit and veal meet this requirement. Such meat is easier to digest and better absorbed.
Make low-calorie marinades
Instead of mayonnaise, marinate the meat in Greek yogurt with spices and salt to taste.
A healthy marinade can also be prepared using lemon juice – as a result, the prepared shashlik will be soft and juicy. Add olive oil, garlic and spices to the lemon juice to perfectly highlight the taste of the meat.
Use vegetables
Traditional shashlik is made from meat, but you shouldn’t refuse the vegetable version of this dish.
Serve baked tomatoes, bell peppers, eggplants and zucchini marinated in olive oil, lemon juice, salt and spices as a side dish.
