[RemnantsOfAPoet]

Me & Hubby live in Vancouver, Canada, and though there are some restaurants that cater to middle eastern food, none of them are really all that authentic. So I'm so so glad I found your channel, the recipes are so easy to follow and they're all delicious. Takes us back home!..Thanks so much for that :)

[dedemed]

@RemnantsOfAPoet thanks for the support, I really appreciate it, check out my site for other recipes :)

[ric4001cs526]

First-time poster, just found your awesome site this week. I made this shawarma tonight by itself (no bread) to accompany some homemade soup, and WOW did we all enjoy it! I didn't have cardamom, so I substituted another 1/4 tsp of 7 Spice for it. I also left out the salt, and none of us missed it. Finally, I used a 50-50 mixture of lemon and lime juice vs. all lemon. We will make this often - THANK YOU!

[dedemed]

@ric4001cs526 sounds wonderful, great job at making the recipe your own :)

[kismy901]

[mujikonly4tanu]

[dedemed]

@mujikonly4tanu check out my beef shawarma recipe, you can replace the beef with lamb, it is easy and tastes fantastic :)

[kurdi82]

I am going to make this today! Chicken shawarma is definitly my favourite sandwich in the world... and i think that garlic sauce is a MUST in this sandwich. I will let you know how it turns out . Thank you for this vedio

[dedemed]

@kurdi82 yes please :)

[pergatron]

[ctriggerinsd]

Hi dede...how many lbs of chicken did you use?

[dedemed]

@ctriggerinsd just go to my site and check out the written recipe, it's all on there :)

[SteamfitterStu]

The reason I asked about doubling this recipe was because I made your chicken shawarma and fattoush recipes on Sunday to rave reviews!!! My wife actually called people to come over to taste the food!!! Needless to say I have to make MORE this Sat. Your website is easy to navigate. BTW, when is your cookbook coming out? To anyone reading this I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Thank you!!!

[dedemed]

@SteamfitterStu thanks so much for your support, it's so wonderful to hear these reviews from a viewer :)

[SteamfitterStu]

Can this recipe be doubled?

[dedemed]

@SteamfitterStu yes of course, the written recipe is on my site :)

[tasanipusa]

whats kabis?its not beet right !!!

[dedemed]

@tasanipusa kabees is pickled turnips, check out my kabees video :)

[Donatellangelo]

Thank you! :D

[AndGz7]

:)) something was wrong with my lemon ,, or to much i putted ,, the meat had more flavour of a lemon then of my seasoning,, and same with the garlic sauce,, but the pita bread was wonderful,, thx

[dedemed]

@AndGz7 hmmm, next time just lessen the amount of lemon or garlic that you use to make it the way that you like :)

[postmealive]

is it the same steps if i use beef?

[dedemed]

@postmealive it's a little different, check out my other beef shawarma recipe :)

[bewitchednour]

thank you so much for the great recipes, I have been begging my mom to teach me how to make lebanese food but she cannot come up with accurate recipes only tells me what to do and expects me to memorize it without even writing it down.

[dedemed]

@bewitchednour that's exactly why I came up with my site...all ethnic mothers are like that, they don't write down recipes, so I decided to do it to help us all out :)

[AndGz7]

can this be done without yougurt? or changed with something

[dedemed]

@AndGz7 yes, if you can't have yogurt, you can just eliminate it and add 2 more tablespoons of lemon juice :)

[eyesandmind]

Came back after making the chicken shawarma. Gotta say, it is delicious! Had to substitute some of the spices, but we enjoyed it big time and wished I had bought more chicken!

Thanks so much, Dede!

[dedemed]

[eyesandmind]

[dedemed]

@MasaZumba thanks, did you try it yet? it's so wonderful I promise. Don't forget to check out my site!

[BoxOramaFitness]

@dedemed The Shawarma Sandwich was a hit with Friends and Family. The only problem was I went through a dozen eggs trying to make my garlic sauce Fluffy and Pretty like yours. Don't know what I am doing wrong, gonna keep on trying. I'm not going to let it WHIP me!!! LOL! Thanks.

PS- Your website is Awesome!! Peace & Love!!

[dedemed]

@BoxOramaFitness Another fool proof GARLIC RECIPE, here it goes:

-2 cups peeled garlic

-1 cup lemon juice

-6 cups canola oil

-1 tbs salt

...Blend up the garlic and salt until minced, slowly start to add and alternate the oil and lemon juice, you will end up with a nice mayonnaise consistency and this batch will last for up to a month in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

THis recipe is pretty much fool proof and tastes great :)

[cafeespresso99]

I love the way you seem to enjoy what you do :) btw your kibbeh recipe is great.

do you have a recipe for falafel just like they make it in Beirut?

[dedemed]

@cafeespresso99 thanks so much for the sweet comments :) yes, i have a fantastic falafel recipe, it's on my site, check it out :)

[jonray74]

[HinSaruDongyuhk]

Hey great video! Love chicken shawarma and this will be fun to make :].

Quick question though, do your make your own garlic sauce that you used for the sandwich or is there a certain brand that you buy?

If so, which kind do you buy?

[dedemed]

@HinSaruDongyuhk no problem, check out my garlic sauce recipe, it is amazing and so easy to make :)

[dedemed]

@shakeenida love you too, thanks for your support always :)

[shakeenida]

i am sorry for bothering u, but jus a query ..again... is cayenne pepper = chilli..i am not a pro, so jus wanted to know.. wats the difference between them and can i use chili powder.. or are they both the same!!

[dedemed]

@shakeenida you can use chilli powder, they are both spicey but they are different peppers but very similar. You can use chilli powder if you do not have cayenne pepper :)

[shakeenida]

can i just use the seven spices alone?? by seven spices do u mean the arabic masala? will i get a good taste and aroma?

[dedemed]

@shakeenida well you really should use the recipe on my site, it will give you the authentic flavor of the chicken shawarma sandwich :)

[dedemed]

@ch606 wonderful, I'm glad i could be of help :)

[jilly9]

do you know where i can get pickled turnips online? I'm not paying $10 a jar on amazon :/ and I can find them in Nashville (I'm from Dearborn originally).

[dedemed]

@jilly9 i will be putting this recipe out very soon :)

[jntyrhds]

Hey Dede,

That SHawarma looks great. I was wondering if you could substitute the Greek Yogurt with something else more commonly found in supermarkets?

I couldn't find it at your website either.

THanks and keep up the great work!!!

[dedemed]

@jntyrhds if you can't find Greek yogurt then just use regular plain yogurt, it will taste great too :)

[xMiSzUniQuEx]

can u please write down the spices?

i could'nt hear them right lol i think the ad before ur video got into my head!!!

[dedemed]

@xMiSzUniQuEx the written recipe is on my site :)

[xMiSzUniQuEx]

@dedemed thanks i made them and its so delicious! yum yum

[dedemed]

@xMiSzUniQuEx good job :)

[reg59]

Thanks dedemed for the response. I'll figure it out and get it done!

[dedemed]

@reg59 no problem, i'm here to help :)

[reg59]

What are the best pickles for shawarma? I live in Charlotte, NC and I want to make this next weekend and I can't find kabees. Help!

[dedemed]

@reg59 I would say the best pickles, if you can't find Middle eastern ones, are plain or dill pickles. Try checking out a Greek, Turkish or Lebanese grocery store, they should have kabees in a jar or can :)

[reg59]

I'm going to give this recipe a try! Michigan eh? My favorite restaurant that served shawarma is on W. Warren @ Greenfield. I'm sure you know the area!

[dedemed]

@reg59 Michigan all the way :)

[keenasmustard2010]

hey i was at a mates parents house and like all of us europeans u cant leave without being fed up for the kill and his mum made chadra im not sure on the spelling but i would love to find the recipe for it its with split peas

[dedemed]

@keenasmustard2010 I think that is actually an Indian dish not a Mediterranean dish, but I'm sure if you try my shawarma recipe you will love it, especially with my garlic sauce or tahini sauce

[Trimotech]

Dedemed you are really actually my didi (Sister)

[FromSouthforkTexas]

what would happen if i used vinegar as a marinate instead of yogurt?

[dedemed]

@FromSouthforkTexas you can definitely add a little vinegar if you can't use yogurt, it will be fine and taste good. I would recommend adding only 2 tbs though.

[siddharthchauhan83]

The shwarma turned out to be perfect :) thanks

[siddharthchauhan83]

wow that looks good...fedex some to me :)

[sselerac]

this looks delicious however you wrote the name wrong in the second part of the title

[dedemed]

@sselerac thanks I just fixed it :)

[joecartagena]

thanks for this, definitely gonna try it when i get home :D

what bread do restaurants use though? dont think its pitta bread, it's quite thin and they use two on one shawarma

[dedemed]

@joecartagena Hey Joe, actually you can use any bread you like but yes traditionally the chicken shawarma sandwich is made with pita bread. you can find this recipe and the pita bread recipe on my site :)

[joecartagena]

@dedemed lol joe, feels weird being called that, with my name being Irfan and all :P I went to this Lebanese place and they were using Mediteranean (sp?) bread or something like that. It was very thin so they used two

[faisal1979m]

ummmmmmmmm I am drawling

also you can make it more moister if you boiled the chicken breasts then torn then in to tine stripes add vinegar it will be totally awesome

[dedemed]

@faisal1979m actually if you boil the chicken it will be more dry, try my recipe, you will like it, the written recipe is on my site :)

[faisal1979m]

@dedemed yes you right thats why i said to put vinegar then close the mixture to have extra moistuer

[staver76]

My stomach is burning... With hunger for this @.@

[hiba780]

wowwwwwww! like it

[DanoCoo1]

OMGsh i love shawarma :D



[jenawy]

hi, your recipe is very good, i loved it. i happened to have the shawerma machine, can you tell how to make beef shawerma the way they make it in resturants, what kind of meat and how to stack'em the way they do. i'm thinking to impress my guest someday, oh and how long do you cook it. thank you

[dedemed]

@jenawy check out the beef shawarma recipe on my site. Instead of cutting them into strips, just layer the flap meat on the shawarma stand :)

[LovingBundleOfHate]

@ifeboy1 in windsor, ontario, right across from Detriot, 75% of all the restaurants are Shwarma restaurants

[aceTL87]

i like how passionate you are in your videos. got me craving mediterranean food :D im gonna make falafel tomorrow

[thatbastardson]

she's pretty. shawarma is good too.

[robowis1]

Looks like a great recipe I can't wait to try it. The only thing I noticed is that you marinated the mix in a metal bowl. I read somewhere that you shouldn't marinade with an acid such as lemon juice as it can cause a chemical reaction that would make the food taste bad. Great vid keep em coming.

[joeminge]

Dede I love ur reciepies please don't stop cause u are doing an excellant job thank you

[nennu15]

yummy ....you are soo good and this stuff! why dont you join foodnetwork?? seriouslyyy like you would be the perfect chef there mayne!! =]
