Chicken Shawarma Chicken Shawarma
Shawarma, also known as doner kebab, originated in Turkey. It was first made by a Turkish chef who stacked thin slices of meat on a long metal skewer, seasoned them with special spices, and cooked them over direct heat while rotating the skewer to brown the meat evenly. This method made the meat ready for shawarma sandwiches. Originally called 'qawarma,' the name later changed to 'shawarma' as it became popular. Shawarma spread throughout the Levant, and it's said that Turkish pilgrims passing through the region would grill meat on skewers over a fire, inspiring a local Syrian to adapt the idea. Over time, the dish evolved into what we know today: slices of meat or chicken wrapped in bread, often served with salads, appetizers, and French fries. Shawarma can be made with chicken, beef, turkey, and even fish in some Western European countries like Spain and Italy. It has a unique flavor thanks to its special blend of spices and can be cooked over direct heat, grilled over charcoal for a smoky taste, or pan-fried. Sometimes, pieces of lamb fat are added to the skewer for extra richness. Many people love enjoying shawarma sandwiches, both large and small, and often seek them out at restaurants for their delicious taste. Today, I'll show you how to make homemade shawarma that's more affordable and just as tasty, without any of the contaminants you might find in restaurants or hotels. I also want to add that I know every home cook has their own special touch when making shawarma, and each version is unique. In my recipe, I'll share some key tips that will make your shawarma sandwich the best it can be. Chef hamdy morsyTranslated from Cookpad Egypt
