Shawarma or Shawurma (Arabic: شاورما‎ / ALA-LC: shāwarmā;) is a Levantine Arab. meat preparation, where lamb, chicken, turkey, beef, veal, or mixed meats are placed on a spit (commonly a vertical spit in restaurants), and may be grilled for as long as a day. Shavings are cut off the block of meat for serving, and the remainder of the block of meat is kept heated on the rotating spit. Although it can be served in shavings on a plate (generally with accompaniments), shawarma also refers to a sandwich or wrap made with shawarma meat. Shawarma is usually eaten with tabbouleh, fattoush, taboon bread, tomato, and cucumber. Toppings include tahini, hummus, pickled turnips and amba. It is akin to the Turkish doner kebab and the Greek gyros. The Arabic naming shawarma or shawurma comes from the Turkish word çevirme [tʃeviɾˈme] "turning" Preparation Ingredients 2.5 lbs of thinly cut skinless boneless chicken breast ½ cup of lemon juice 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce 4 tablespoons of plain (Greek) yogurt 3 tablespoons of white vinegar 1 head of garlic, crushed 2 tablespoons of olive oil 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of salt (or to taste) ½ teaspoon of ground oregano (or thyme) 1 teaspoon of paprika ½ teaspoon of ginger powder (optional) A pinch of nutmeg powder Instructions Rinse the boneless chicken breasts with fresh cold water then cut horizontally into thinner cuts of about ½ inch (each breast could possibly be split into 2 slices depending on thickness). Mix all ingredients in a blender, add to a bowl and mix well with the chicken, cover and let marinate in the fridge overnight. When ready, grill the marinated chicken using a panini/George Forman grill for about 15 minutes on medium heat. You can also cook the chicken on a BBQ grill if so you wish. Once cooked, shred the chicken thinly as in the photo and it's now ready to be wrapped into a Shawarma Sandwich. Spread the chicken shreds along the diameter of a pita bread, spread a bit of Lebanese Garlic paste, add some salty cucumber pickles, some French fries, and some grilled tomatoes, roll and enjoy. - See more at: http://www.mamaslebanesekitchen.com/poultry/chicken-shawarma-recipe-garlic/#sthash.o1t6w6hj.dpuf
