Shawarma Plate Recipe

Shawarma Plate Directions

1. 1

   Marinate the Meat

   In a large bowl, combine sliced chicken or lamb, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, coriander, cinnamon, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight in the fridge for best results.

2. 2

   Cook the Meat

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated meat for about 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

3. 3

   Prepare the Tahini Sauce

   In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if necessary.

4. 4

   Assemble the Plate

   On a serving plate, place a portion of the sliced meat. Drizzle with the lemon tahini sauce, and garnish with chopped parsley, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Serve with warm pita bread on the side.
