Lebanese Chicken Shawarma *
Shawarma in Arabic
means “turning”, which refers to turning rotisserie. This is one of
many kinds of meat kebabs, making them a famous street food in
Middle Eastern countries. Besides being well-loved in Lebanon, it’s
also an iconic
dish in Saudi Arabian cuisine.
The appearance of
Shawarma was from the 19th century in the Ottoman Empire, which is
now doner kebab in Turkey. And people think Shawarma is derived from
this food.On
the street, people display Shawarma with many thin slices of meat
cut, placed in a cone-shaped, then roasted by a vertical rotisserie.
Shawarma usually consists of chicken or lamb, but you can
find other versions with beef, veal, or turkey today. The best thing
about this dish is the marinated meat. You can saute, grill, or
roast it at home. Then wrap it with thin pita bread and top your
food with sauce and veggies.
