Lebanese Shawarma recipe Beef OR Chicken.

For the Chicken Marinade:

  • 500g (approx. 1 pound) chicken breast, thinly sliced

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 lemon, juice and zest

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons plain yogurt

  • 1 tablespoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander

  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Sauce:

  • 1 cup tahini (sesame paste)

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • Water, as needed to adjust consistency

  • Salt, to taste

  • Chopped parsley (optional)

For Serving:

  • Pita bread or flatbreads

  • Cucumber, thinly sliced

  • Tomatoes, sliced

  • Red onions, sliced

  • Parsley, chopped

  • Pickles

Instructions: 1. Chicken Marinade:

  • In a bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken and mix well to ensure every piece is well coated. Cover and allow to marinate for at least 1-2 hours, or overnight for best results.

2. Cooking the Chicken:

  • Heat some oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until nicely browned and thoroughly cooked, about 5-7 minutes per side.

3. Preparing the Tahini Sauce:

  • In a small bowl, mix together tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Add chopped parsley if desired and mix.

4. Assembling the Shawarma:

  • Warm the pita bread. Spread a generous tablespoon of tahini sauce on each bread.

  • Add the cooked chicken, and top with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, parsley, and pickles.

  • Roll the pita bread around the fillings, making sure it’s securely wrapped.

5. Serving:

  • Serve immediately, possibly with fries or a side salad.

Note that shawarma has many variations, and everyone has their own family recipe. This recipe is quite straightforward and should give you delicious and fairly authentic shawarma in the comfort of your own kitchen.
