Shawarma Plate Ingredients

Method

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.
