Shawarma is one of the most popular meat dishes in the Middle East. It is traditionally grilled on a large rotating spit and sliced into a wrap with Tahini sauce although you may like to simply use a barbecue or a pan.
An alternative method is to cook the meat in the oven with your favourite vegetables, although you would use larger pieces of meat, such as Sirloin or Fillet rather than small pieces as you would for grilling.
Lamb is typically used for Shawarma, although the Sami’s Kitchen Shawarma blend is also excellent with Beef and most red meats.
