Crumble the vegetable cubes to the liquids and stir until they are dissolved. Bring the sauce to a boil, turn the heat back and let it boil uncovered for 10-15 minutes.

Add the skewers to the sauce. The skewers should be covered with the sauce. Cover the saucepan and let the Schaschlik cook on medium low for 90 minutes. Turn the skewers in the saucepan from time to time.

Remove the skewers and place them on a plate. If the sauce is still too liquid, mix 2-3 tablespoons of corn starch with 6 tablespoons of water. Add the dissolved corn starch to the sauce and thicken it to your likes.
