Shawarma, the beloved Middle Eastern sandwich, is a delicious and satisfying meal that can be easily made at home. Here's how you can cook shawarma like a pro:
Ingredients:
1 lb of your preferred meat (chicken, beef, lamb, or tofu)
1 onion, sliced
1 bell pepper, sliced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tbsp of shawarma spice blend (cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, etc.)
Salt and pepper to taste
Juice of 1 lemon
4 pita breads
Optional toppings: hummus, tahini, pickles, lettuce, tomato, etc.
Instructions:
In a large bowl, mix together the meat, onion, bell pepper, garlic, shawarma spice blend, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated meat mixture until it is browned and cooked through.
Warm the pita breads in the oven or on a griddle.
Spoon the cooked meat mixture into the warm pita breads, add your favorite toppings, and roll up tightly.
Your homemade shawarma is now ready to be enjoyed! The warm, tender meat and juicy toppings are the perfect combination of flavors and textures, all wrapped up in a soft pita bread. Serve with a side of fries or a simple salad for a complete meal.
