How To Make shashlik (russian lamb kebabs)

2Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced onion and garlic; cook 6-8 minutes. Add remaining coriander, plus tomato paste, red pepper flakes, prunes, and salt, and pepper to taste; cook until caramelized, 2-3 minutes. Add tomatoes; simmer until thick, 15-20 minutes.
