Shawarma recipe

[Tedday2223]

Shawarma is a popular for its flavorful and aromatic profile. Shawarma is typically cooked on a vertical rotisserie, which allows the meat to cook evenly and develop its distinct tender texture. The cooking process, combined with a blend of spices and herbs, creates a dish that is not only delicious but also rich in cultural history.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 2 tsp ground paprika
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp plain yogurt
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine minced garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, yogurt, lemon juice, and olive oil. Mix well to form a marinade.
2. Cut the chicken thighs into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Coat the chicken evenly with the marinade, cover the bowl, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).
3. Preheat the grill or oven to medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C).
4. Thread the marinated chicken strips onto skewers (if grilling) or spread them out on a baking sheet (if using the oven).
5. Grill or bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
6. Remove the chicken from the skewers or baking sheet. Serve the chicken shawarma warm, wrapped in pita bread or flatbread, with your choice of toppings and sauces.

Whether enjoyed as a quick street food or a hearty meal, its versatility and robust flavors make it a beloved dish around the world. Enjoy the experience of savoring this delicious dish with family and friends, and explore the rich tapestry of flavors that shawarma has to offer.
