SHAWARMA

 

 

This tasty snack has become a popular and wanted street meal. It is a bread with beef/chicken and vegetable fillings. We know everyone knows what a shawarma is, so let’s go straight to the point- how to make it.

 

Ingredients

• Pitta or Flour Tortilla bread wraps
• Cabbage
• Carrot and Cucumber(optional)
• Chicken breast/ soft chicken
• Dry pepper/ black pepper
• Ketchup
• Mayonnaise
• Salt curry and knorr cubes
• Garlic
• Onions
• Vegetable oil
• Soy sauce (optional)

 

Preparation Method

Step 1

Wash and cut the vegetable(s) into strips and set aside. 

 

Step 2

Strip the chicken/beef if not bought stripped. It is advised you use chicken breasts, soft chicken so that it will be easier to debone and faster to stir fry or boneless chicken/beef.

 

Step 3

Marinate with soy sauce, curry, dry/black pepper, salt, knorr cubes, onions and garlic. You could do this 24hours before frying or given the number of hours you have, so that the juice can suck in. 

 

Step 4

In a pan, heat up a table spoon of vegetable oil. Add the marinated chicken/beef and stir fry until juicy, brown and properly cooked. This should take about 7-10 minutes on low heat.

 

Step 5

Add your stripped vegetables and allow to fry for 90 seconds. 

 

Step 6

You may wish to add extra ingredients at this point or leave it like that. 

 

Step 7

Mix the mayonnaise and ketchup in a separate bowl (ketch-mayo). 

 

Step 8

Place the shawarma bread, preferably flour tortilla wraps on a clean surface (plate or board) and spread a reasonable amount of the ketch-mayo until it touches every side. Then pour portions of your stir fried mixture and sprinkle some pepper on it (optional). 

 

Step 9

After this is done, fold the bread, tuck in the edges and roll to form a shawarma wrap. You can use a toothpick to hold it together. 

 

Step 10

Warm it up a bit on a grilling pan for about 3 minutes. If you have a sandwich maker or microwave feel free to use them too.
