Even for non culinary person like me, Google recipe search is super cool. I decided to take a shot at the greatest meal in the entire eastern block, Shashlik. Here it is:

Russian Shashlik
Make 4 servings
Categories: Main Course Ethnic Low-fat Russian
Ingredients
2.00 tablespoon Corn oil
1.00 large Shallot, minced
2.00 large Garlic, cloves, fine-minced
1.00 tablespoon Parsley, freshly-chopped
1.00 small Onion, finely-minced
1.25 cup Pomegranate juice, unsweet.
1.50 lb Lamb, cut from leg
4.00 dash Cayenne pepper

Preparation
Tart-and-sweet and slightly astringent pomegranate juice the base for
the marinade in the recipe for this popular dish. True Russian style?
Da! Russian overabundance of calories? Nyet! Trim away all fat from
meat. Cut into 2" chunks. Place in small bowl together with onion,
garlic, shallot, parsley, cayenne pepper and pomegranate juice. Cover
and refrigerate overnight. Remove meat from marinade and pat dry.
Skewer the meat, using four substantial skewers. Brush with oil.
Broil under very high heat, turning often until done. Some prefer it
slightly pink (12 minutes). Well done will take about 20 minutes.
Remove from skewers and serve on a heated plate with Kasha.
VARIATIONS: Include 2 green peppers cut into 12 chunks, 4 tomatoes
cut into quarters, and 4 small, white onions, peeled and cut in half.
Skewer alternate chunks of vegetable and meat chunks. Proceed
according to recipe.
