Description
As fusion foods continue to be readily accepted in this country we are willing to try more and more dishes that may be somewhat familiar but different at the same time. Shawarmas originated in northwestern Turkey and are considered a fast food staple in the Middle East and Europe. Think of it almost like a Middle Eastern Taco, wrapped in pita bread and filled with thinly sliced meat, vegetables and a variety of flavorful sauces. These are both delicious and relatively inexpensive to make.Most Shawarmas use some version of beef, chicken, goat, lamb, turkey or mixed meats. Throughout the Middle East these meats are placed on a stick or skewer and cooked on a vertical spit, traditionally over a wood flame, and often cook for as long as a full day (the Middle Eastern version of low and slow). Shawarmas are eaten with tabbouleh, fattoush, pickles, tomato and cucumber. Dressings or toppings may include hummus, tahini, Amba sauce, flavored vinegar (with spices such as cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg). The popular Chicken Shawarma is served with a garlic sauce, pomegranate concentrate or a hot chili sauce called skhug.An easy garlic sauce can be made with 2 crushed garlic cloves, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt and 1 cup of tahini.All ingredients at Spice Enthusiast are packaged fresh daily by hand, and delivered to your door in a heat sealed, resealable, recyclable Kraft bag for optimal freshness and shelf life.
