Gyros or Chicken Shawarma

Fries

Method

Gyros or Chicken Shawarma

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken or Meat

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken or meat, ensuring it’s evenly coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Yogurt Sauce

    In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken or Meat

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the marinated chicken or meat from the refrigerator and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side (for chicken) or until fully cooked (for beef/lamb). Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) for chicken or 145°F (63°C) for beef/lamb.

  4. 4

    Slice and Assemble

    Once cooked, let the meat rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly. Serve in pita bread or flatbreads topped with diced tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and chopped parsley. Drizzle with yogurt sauce.

Fries

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even strips or wedges.

  2. 6

    Season the Fries

    In a large bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, salt, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

  3. 7

    Bake the Fries

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Drink

  1. 8

    Serve the Drink

    Pour the soft drink or lemonade into cups and serve chilled alongside the Gyros or Chicken Shawarma and Fries.
