I'm preparing this as we speak. I have a feeling it will be better than all the Shawerma I ever had in my entire life. Thank you for keeping it mega simple
i like the baking style, steps laid out well, as a licensed chef myself i know that measuring rarely gets done in a kitchen but your half cups looked a bit steep, 3/4's maybe, and the hair you need to stop playing with your hair, with that aside no one can argue with results and you produced great results. i would hire you for my restaurant as a trainer after watching this, just stop playing with your hair lol
Mmm delish :) ur right, shawarma is expensive, I usually pay $6 for one, it is pretty big, but still it's expensive, but delicious. I'll try it out :)
Thank you soooooooooo much for this valued information. My wife , children, and I have to drive about 20 mile for good food, you brought it home for us. Keep the great work up, Al & family,... Harvey Illinois
it looks like a great sandwich and i am sure it tastes great (i've eaten lots of them before), but it is not practical because it does not conform to the minimalist standards of the industrial American world. Good job though.
@amanboy tahini sauce is made with ground sesame seeds but the tzatziki is made with yogurt, it all depends on what you like, they both taste great with shawarma :)
I can't have enough Shawarma, I always buy at least two (or 4 if I take it home with me. haha). Although, here in the Philippines, they serve it with chili sauce along with some of that white sauce. The toppings also include slices of cucumber to add to the contrast of flavors.
your husband is one lucky man. I do all the cooking at my house, although I love it I wish someone would cook good stuff for me like you do, thanks for all these recipes Ill be trying a bunch of them
So good :) I was born in Bahrain - lived in Jeddah...miss that country, and shawarmas were so good!!! 2 Riyals a go...I found a place in the UK that does them - except they're about 38 Riyals a go..
I've learned that with rolling pita you need to use fresh pita that has not yet been refrigerated. Keep the pita in an airtight bag and it should be good for rolling for about a week or so. Hope this helps :)
I know what you mean about the commercial pita breads out there.. they are hard and tough.. but I've learned that if you spray them on each side with Pam or rub with vegetable oil, then lightly grill in a saute pan on medium heat, they soften up really nicely.. toss often to avoid charring.. then you are then able to fold and roll with no problems.. hope this helps..
Excellent work, i have been trying to not only cook, but wrap a shawarma in the traditional style of most restaurants. Your work looks spectacular and i bet, it tastes as good as it looks.
ok people you know what geos soo good with the shawarma garlic sauce . just spread them on the bread and add the rest and yummmmm soo goood. by the way garlic is the best im a big fan lol
Is it okay if I cook it using a pan instead of the oven. I am just learning how to cook actually.hehe. Still planning to mix it with rice though ad a garlic sauce. I'm just crazy about your garlic sauce recipe.
ok , lets see if its really gonna be shawerma or something else , i am cooking it now and 'll let you know if i made it good or not .thank you for the reciepe
sumac, is a dried berry that is sour and is ground up to add more flavor. You can order it on my site. Yes you can use this recipe for chicken or lamb too :)
i love your coking but it will be better if you write the ingredients under info and wish you have more clear camer and if you can get close to the food so we know how it look like.
Thanks for this tutorial. I always wondered how to make real shawarma. I like mine with lettuce, tomato/cucumber slices, red onions and chilisauce. Those rolls are normally wrapped in tin foil and sold as durum rolls. Pita breads are normally smaller, cheaper and not served as a roll. Most restaurants here don't use filet but rather some sort of compressed minced beef on a stick. I don't really like veal either - I wan't filet! Roast and spicy filet! Yummy...
Thank you so much for the recepie a friend went to the sudan for 4 months and he has been craving Shawarma so this is exciting cause I can make it for him!
dedemed my first time watching this and you did a great job. I will try some off these recipes since i love this type off food. I had a ? i live in toronto and every swarma or kebab place i go to they sell philly cheese steaks which are soo good. They add a twist to the philly cheese steaks which taste soo delicious. Maybe if u get a chance please do show us how that's done. Keep up the good work.:)
That's a great lesson, thank you I'm sure it tastes great! I can't wait to try it myself. Do you know a recipe for za3tar? I can't find it anywhere in the United States. Thanks!
I think she/he means with za3tar the one like pizza (mana2eesh) not spices , I also would like to learn how to make it..by the way, thank you for your videos .
yes you can definitely add 1/2 cup of yogurt to the shawarma or shish tawook marinade, that is optional, it helps to tenderize and it adds a little bit of zest to the dish.
DEDE! this is the weirdest but good recipe for a shawerma sandwich. YOu should see how they do it in ramallah. i would kill for a ramallah shawerma sandwich.
DEDE excellent video Shawerma is one of my personal favorite foods. Also as a tip a lot of places slice a kosher pickle thinly in to strips and put it in the sandwich. Also hot sauce is a common condiment
They look yummy! i definately have to try one. Where do you get your pita bread? everytime I buy pita bread its always too small to do stuff like that.
Well I'm in California so I buy them from a Middle Eastern Store. I would suggest you google Mediterranean or Middle Eastern store and you can find the closest one to you, Good Luck :)
Interesting! You poured out the juices of the shawarma, don't you use the good juices for another dish ? Is it possible to do this ?
Thanks!

I wanted to eat more healthy so I tried making the shawarma with whole wheat pita.
I suck at wrapping, so my pita always falls apart or tears.
I've tried warming the pita first to make it pliable, but to no avail.
I'm starting to wonder if maybe whole wheat pita is no good for shawarmas

I've learned that with rolling pita you need to use fresh pita that has not yet been refrigerated. Keep the pita in an airtight bag and it should be good for rolling for about a week or so. Hope this helps :)
