Recipe story
Chicken shawarma is one of the most delicious sandwiches of all time. Are you with us? Here is how to make it so you can enjoy sandwiches even tastier than store-bought ones.
Ingredients
- Half a kilo of chicken breast strips, cut into thin slices
- Marinade
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 2 tablespoons yogurt
- 1 tablespoon shawarma spice mix
- 1/4 tablespoon cardamom
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger... or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- Sauce
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon yogurt
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Method
- Soak the chicken strips in the marinade overnight.
- The next day, add a little oil to a skillet and sauté the shawarma until cooked through. You can also add 1 teaspoon of tail fat, ghee, or cooking fat to the pan with the oil before adding the shawarma, because chicken breast is dry; this is up to your preference.
- Whisk the sauce ingredients well in a bowl and use it when assembling the sandwiches. Spread 1 tablespoon of the sauce on a round of Arabic bread, add some shawarma along with French fries and pickled cucumbers, if desired, then roll the sandwich and toast it on a sandwich press or grill.
