Fries

Method

Fries Preparation

  1. 1

    Bake the Fries

    Preheat your oven according to the French fries package instructions. Spread the frozen fries on a baking sheet, toss with vegetable oil, and bake until golden and crispy, usually about 20-25 minutes.

Chicken Shawarma Preparation

  1. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add the chicken thighs and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Poutine

  1. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the fries are cooked, place them on a serving plate. Top with sliced chicken shawarma, shredded mozzarella cheese, sliced cucumbers, and drizzle with tahini sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
