[FastAurion]

Hi Denise. Love your website and your recipes. I am from a Lebanese background living in Australia and I have emailed all my Middle Eastern Friends who I work with.

Your recipes are similar to those we make. Only exception is that we use more lamb than beef. Probably because this is an Australian thing. We have plenty of lamb in Australia.

Love your work. Congratulations and good luck with your website.

[dedemed]

@FastAurion thanks for the post. I like beef but all of the recipes can be made with lamb as well, it just depends on preference :)

[coto232]

what is the 7 species ? what are the species? i cant find that in mexico..

[dedemed]

@coto232 you can buy them on my site, we ship to Mexico :)

[coto232]

Hello! u said that if we have a stand up roaster you could show us how to make it, could you? :D jhahaha i have one and im in mexico and want to try em!

[dedemed]

@coto232 yes, just layer the meat o top of each other instead of cutting it into strips, then let it cook while it turns and slowly cut off the cooked meat.

[Iraqisocialist]

Hello Dede, can I make this shawarma on stove top in a frying pan instead? would it still come out with the flavor of the marinate?

[dedemed]

@Iraqisocialist Yes you can, that will work as well.

[dookindasie1]

Your husband must be a big guy..... All the food you cook is the bomb. great video keep up the-good work ........ Send some to Chicago for a lil taste . Do you have a menseff* video

[dedemed]

@dookindasie1 Mansef video is coming soon. Well my husband is not fat b/c he has to work out a lot to keep up with the good food :) You have to balance the food and the workouts LOL

[Siberia087]

I'm from Michigan too, and that's one of my favorite things to get at Middle Eastern Restaurants. I was looking for Hummus recipes cause I'm never happy with the way mines turns out and I found you! I can't wait to try your recipes.

[dedemed]

@Siberia087 I am so happy you found my recipes, don't forget to check out my site for other recipes that I think you'll enjoy :)

[zhapper2002]

Oh God! Im craving for shawarma!!!! I miss the authentic shawarma that I used to eat in a persian restaurant way back in my home town. :( I used to eat shawarma and keema with eggplant! dang that's so good! :) I usually put a splash of hot sauce! :))

[dedemed]

@zhapper2002 very interesting, you need to try my recipe :)

[zhapper2002]

@dedemed I'll try it :) It looks really yummy! :) thanks for the video

[dedemed]

@zhapper2002 you are so welcome :)

[mrbrooks677]

wow you sound like mila kunis

[dedemed]

@mrbrooks677 very interesting :)

[mrbrooks677]

@dedemed you really do :)

[chicharwali]

also i'm going to powder it using majority of the whole spices so how much of each am i going to need? ginger and all spice will be powdered and the rest whole. and the green cardamon, do i use the shell as well or just the seeds? thanks.

[dedemed]

@chicharwali they all need to be in powder form in equal portions.

[chicharwali]

i want to make 7 spice... can i substitute nutmeg for something? or just leave it out altogether cuz i cant have nutmeg/mace... also I've never heard of 'all spice'... is that just one spice on its own?

[dedemed]

@chicharwali allspice is an actual whole spice, it is about twice the size of a black pepper. If you can't have nutmeg then just leave it out.

[wildkath2513]

wow!! you're good. shawarma is my favorite mediterranean food!! now i know how to make delicious one!.. thank you!! you're awesome! :D

[dedemed]

@wildkath2513 you are very welcome :)

[dedemed]

@tradeit thanks :)

[shiroirobin]

Green or black cardamom?

[dedemed]

@shiroirobin green

[shiroirobin]

@dedemed thank you for answer!

[Ragitsu]

Beef and lamb shawarma is AWESOME, but chicken is also AWESOME! Hard to lose with shawarma in general.

[dedemed]

@Ragitsu very true, I agree :)

[sickboy932]

I refuse to take advice from a Detroit fan.

[dedemed]

@sickboy932 Your loss but we're enjoying great food :)

[rakhello]

7 Mixed Spices:

Allspice - Black pepper - Cinnamon - Cloves - Nutmeg - Fenugreek - Ginger

Blind all together the equal quantities of all the above spices. keep in a sealed jar or container, it will last for at least six months.

[dedemed]

@rakhello perfect :)

[krenotenze]

Couldn't you use skirt steak for this as well as long as you use a grill and cut across the grain? Also, instead of green pepper I usually use anaheim chiles. They have next to no heat but for those that don't like green pepper it's a GREAT substitute for immense flavor.

[dedemed]

@krenotenze yes yes and yes. :) you can definitely use skirt steak and yes I love Anaheim chillis as well. You are correct, just make sure to cut against the grain and the meat will be fine :)

[dedemed]

7 spices is a spice mix that is used a lot in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking. It includes: allspice, black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, fenugreek and powder ginger.

[rakhello]

thanks...what are the seven spices...

[deycallmefigo]

gyros, der kebab, shawarma in middle east and Shawirma in Egypt... why can't we unite haha

[dedemed]

@deycallmefigo true it's all pretty much the same and all tastes great :)

[coquimontes]

would you please don not touch your hair while cooking???

at least while teaching how to cook?

[dedemed]

@coquimontes I apologize and will try not to, it is difficult to shoot videos, look pretty and make recipes.

In the kitchen I always have my hair tied up :)

[coquimontes]

@dedemed I'm sure you'll always look pretty, even when your hair tied up ;-)

[000mich000]

u would have pronounced "Carne Asada" perfectly had u pronounced it the way u pronounce "Shawarma" :) love it!

[dedemed]

@000mich000 thanks :)

[TheIronMan987]

she looks hot :)

[dedemed]

@TheIronMan987 thanks :)

[pipthemakem]

the best hot/chili sauce to use on a shawarma is crystal hot sauce, its what every shawarma place in bahrain uses, always used to think it was arabic but its actually american, its cheap and is way better than tobasco if you can get hold of it i highly recomend

[dedemed]

@pipthemakem wonderful, great tip, thanks :)

[dedemed]

@matthei1996 check out my chicken shawarma video :)

[UtubeTopCub]

I love to watch and learn a different way of cooking scenes practically every county or region have different ways of cooking the same recipe,I just don't like you touching your hair while cooking raw meat,use a net or hair pin thank you and please don't be offended its just common scents Ive seen it in bunch of your cooking clips I still love what you do thanks for the hard work

[richard833]

soooo delicious

[scorpatl]

OMG......SHAWARMAS R SO GOOOOD!!!!....IM ON MY WAY TO GET ONE RIGHT NOW

[dedemed]

@scorpatl perfect!

[Megashehri]

in saudi arabia there's shwawerma restruants all over the place :D

[dedemed]

@breeeanna14 yes you can definitely use lamb instead of beef :)

[Lilo6480]

Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe. I follow the same procedure at home. How about soaking the meat with cooking red wine overnight. What would you think?

[dedemed]

@Lilo6480 You can definitely add a little red wine to it but don't over do it or it will over power the flavor. Add a little bit, it will help to tenderize it as well :)

[pipthemakem]

malgoom is the way forward, used to love shawarmas untill i had a malgoom, then the shawarma seemed a little inferior lol good vid though thumbs up!

[dedemed]

@pipthemakem very interesting, I'll have to look that up :)

[pipthemakem]

@dedemed you really should u dont know what ur missing, its probably really unhealthy lol but so so good, im not if tha is the exact spelling but thats how its pronouced, and im not sure if its made all throughout the middle east cos i've only had them in bahrain

[roohiahmad]

hey dede i mabe beef shawarma oh my god!!!!!!!!!it was yummy all my guest loved it, u are the best. can u teach how to make ghormeh sabzi with less ingedients or with dry mix herbs packets which i saw at wholesome choice market

[dedemed]

@roohiahmad thanks or the comment, I think ghormeh is a Persian dish not a Mediterranean dish :)

[betover68]

shawarma in england is post pub food, always a treat

[dedemed]

@betover68 very cool and fulfilling :)

[MattyMatt761]

DeDe I was reading about your Shawarma House on Camp Pendleton and just wanted to say that if you franchised that concept you could open one on my college campus and make a fortune. My college is UTA in Tx and there are a lot of Middle Eastern people that go there but there is no place reasonably near or on campus that offers up delicious middle eastern food. You would prob start making a profit within 3 months! But anyway, congrats on all of your success, have been a fan for a long time :)

[dedemed]

@MattyMatt761 that is a great idea, college areas are the best locations for Mediterranean food stands :)

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

my favorite middle eastern foods are shwarma and falafel.

[dedemed]

@Pimpmastahanhduece me too :)

[almazaaa]

can you marinate this the night before?

[dedemed]

@almazaaa definitely :)

[fardisghomeshi]

SHAWARMA is yummy

[SonyBoy4]

i love the way you say shawarma lol!!!!!!!!!!

[Unsia]

what is sumac?

[dedemed]

@Unsia it is a wonderful ground up berry that adds a wonderful ZING to your food, you can buy the spice on my site :)

[fardisghomeshi]

@Unsia red color spice w a sour taste.its a good compliment to meat dishes.

[jamialonnes]

niceeeeeeee

[Crossed]

You say shawarma funny :]

thanks for the recipe

[dedemed]

@Crossed I say it the correct way :)

[xXxCrazyxGurlxXx]

[spareaxe]

It's weird...I had my first sandwich in Amsterdam, the guys had the hanging meat. It was the best food I had there, my girlfriend (Dutch) couldn't understand why I liked going there. I did.

[dedemed]

[kristinarusgrl]

[dedemed]

YOu can make it for a party and set it up as a buffet table where each person can make their own shawarma sandwich, it would be great! HOpe this helps :)

[tazzyg]

[xxsahrishxx]

[ArabesqueCafe]

Arabesque Cafe & Shisha Hookah Lebanese cuisine

[conflagration95]

its good enough...

[hanxopx]

I used to eat shawarma everyday ;o

[dedemed]

Shawarma is good everyday any day :)

[maxtrip1]

Damn.... this girl is my dream: Arabian and good at cook!!!! I wonder if sicilians get along with arabs though... probably yes, becaus we're half arabic too...

[dedemed]

yes we do get along, we are all Mediterranean :)

[maxtrip1]

honey, you're right... like i said, we are closer than you think. Sicily as a very big arabic influence...you should read something about the real sicilian cousine, wich is not what u eat in most of the italian restaurants in america!Look for the Cassata(quasat)and the trapanese cous cous on the web

[elghazoli]

The Scillians and Spanish are Arabs man it's just that they forgot how to speak the language.

[fulla1512]

they forgot how speak the language ..ur hallirious..lol

[Yeabuddy1]

what is 7 spices

[dedemed]

go to my website and you can find the answers. it is a spice mix and you can even buy it on my website :)

[umsulieman]

We Arabs use it in EVERYTHING lol

[dedemed]

true!

[yeidckol]

Is this the famous Döner Kebap? Hope your answer.

[dedemed]

this is very similar :)

[Geraldolini]

Doner Kebap is closer to the Greek Gyros. I lived in Turkey and Germany and just loved the Turkish and Greek food. Turks and Greeks seem to get along fine in Germany for some reason...anyway..The Shawarma is a little different and very good. I had with cold onions and tomatoes on flat bread in London many years ago...dripped some oil/juice on my shirt, trousers and shoe that NEVER came out. But it was worth it!

[orangedrink]

deeeedeeeee!! you are the best! thanks you very much for this. it turned out so delicious!

im going to try out you falafel next :)

[dedemed]

thank you :)

[kp11]

its not easy to get hold of halal beef where i am, would this recipe work with lamb.
