The country kitchen is in no way inferior to its urban counterpart, and in many ways surpasses it, since it is surrounded by nature’s bounty. And that’s the main reason to be here! Any meal prepared at the dacha is likely to be shared with good company around a big table, with smoke from the grill in the air and burning firewood crackling in the background . Professional chef and RTG host Vladimir Pavlov will serve up his favorite dish for a countryside feast – salmon shashlik! And if you don’t happen to have a grill at your country home, even a regular oven will be able to cook this recipe to perfection, allowing you to enjoy delicious, juicy, aromatic shashlik with a crunchy outer layer. And on the side – mashed potatoes with dill, paired with a scrumptious, light yogurt sauce. On The Geography of Taste, only on Russian Travel Guide.
