Avoiding Pitfalls: Dietitian Sergey Shkitin's Guidance on What Not to Eat with Shashlik
Barbecue Incompatibilities Revealed by Dietitian Shkitin: A Look at Foods to Avoid on the Grill
Get the lowdown on what to steer clear of when enjoying shashlik, the mouthwatering dish of marinated meats and veggies grilled on skewers, courtesy of Dietitian Sergey Shkitin of ROSBIOTECH University. Here's what you need to know:
While it might seem like an enticing idea to pair shashlik with standard picnic fare, such as bread and potatoes, Shkitin warns against this combo. Why? The caloric content of your meal significantly increases, potentially harming your figure. And let's be real, who isn't trying to maintain a lean physique during the season of barbecues and outdoor feasts?
But there's more to it than just the scale tipping. Shkitin underscores the importance of fresh, properly stored meat for shashlik preparation. Never skip the crucial step of making sure your meat is in primo condition before firing up the grill. Likewise, always follow storage instructions from the packaging, and remember that carelessness in the handling of marinated or frozen shashlik can have undesirable consequences.
So, why not opt for greener pastures—literally—when it comes to your picnic spread? Ditch those salads and sausages and instead reach for fresh or marinated veggies and refreshing water. If you're worried about perishable items lasting without a fridge, consider swapping them for non-perishable alternatives or using a thermobag as a makeshift cooler.
Pay close attention to the cooking process of your shashlik, too. To ensure safety, fully cook your meat so that no signs of blood remain. And don't forget to practice proper hygiene (even outdoors!) by washing your hands before diving into that delicious spread.
For those with digestive troubles like ulcers or gallbladder issues, it's best to stick to baked meat in foil rather than shashlik cooked on coals for a gentler option.
