ShawarmBaa Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix plain yogurt with lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the ShawarmBaa

    On a pita bread, spread a layer of hummus, followed by sliced chicken, and top with fresh vegetables. Drizzle with the yogurt-lemon sauce, then roll up the pita to enclose the filling.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the ShawarmBaa in half and serve immediately with extra hummus or your favorite dipping sauce.
