Compound:

onions, salt, sweet red paprika, vegetable fat, garlic, sugar, marjoram, sunflower oil, black pepper, mustard, coriander, lactose, oregano, rosemary, milk protein, chili pepper extract. Sauce mixture: corn maltodextrin, garlic, sugar, salt, mustard, sunflower oil, parsley and celery, lovage, dry lemon juice.

Homemade shawarma is prepared quickly and easily, you just need to make the filling from vegetables and meat and wrap it in pita bread. So, to prepare shawarma at home, you need the following list of products.

Ingredients

  • 1 chicken fillet,
  • 1 pita bread,
  • 1 sweet pepper,
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 young cabbage (or lettuce leaves),
  • 100 g Korean carrots,
  • greens (in this case parsley was used),
  • spices for meat to taste (ground paprika, ground black pepper, dried marjoram, etc.),
  • sunflower oil for frying
for the sauce
  • 3 tbsp. spoons of mayonnaise,
  • 1 tbsp. a spoonful of mustard,
  • 1-2 cloves of garlic

    or ready-made Knorr “Home-Style Shawarma” seasoning.


Let's take a step-by-step look at how to cook shawarma. Wash the chicken fillet under running water. Cut it into small pieces and roll them in spices.

As a seasoning for the meat, we used a ready-made mixture for homemade shawarma, which included spices such as: salt, ground black pepper, sweet red paprika, dried ground garlic, ground mustard, marjoram, coriander, dried oregano, rosemary, extract chili pepper (a little bit). You can buy these spices separately and make a mix of them to your liking.


While the meat is roasting, chop the vegetables. Rinse the tomatoes and bell peppers under running water. Blanch the tomato and pepper (i.e. remove the skin from them).

To do this, you need to make a cross-shaped cut with a knife on the bottom of the tomato and dip the vegetable in boiling water for about 30-60 seconds. The top of the pepper should be cut off, the inside should be cleared of seeds, and then placed in boiling water for 2-3 minutes.

Place the hot vegetables in a colander and cool under running cold water. Lift the crust with a knife and remove it.
If the vegetables are young, their crusts are thin. You don’t have to blanch them, but go straight to slicing.

Remove the top leaves from the cabbage; we won’t need them. Rinse the greens well under water. Dry the cabbage and herbs with a paper towel and chop them finely.


The meat is ready. Place the cooled fillet pieces on a paper towel to absorb the remaining sunflower oil.

And let's prepare the shawarma sauce. To do this, mix 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise (or sour cream) with spices. In this case, we used ready-made garlic sauce spices (from the top section of Knorr Seasoning). Its composition included: salt, dried ground garlic, ground mustard, dried parsley, dried celery, dried lovage.


A “light version” of shawarma sauce is made like this: mix mayonnaise and mustard in the proportions that suit your taste, and add grated (or pressed) garlic to this mixture. Mix all this until smooth.

All components are ready, now let’s move on directly to assembling the shawarma. We'll show you in pictures how to wrap shawarma.

One shawarma took half a meter-long sheet of lavash, but you can make a smaller shawarma by using a smaller piece of lavash.

So, we take a piece of pita bread and figuratively divide it into two parts. Lubricate one part with a thin layer of sauce and place pieces of meat on it, which can first be chopped using a fork and knife. Then put some vegetables on top of the meat, the juice of which should be drained so that it does not get into the filling, otherwise the pita bread will quickly soften and fall apart.


Fold the pita bread with the outer edges inward, as shown in the photo below.


Roll the pita bread into a tube in one layer. Cut off the excess edge of the pita bread with a knife.

Shawarma sauce made from kefir and mayonnaise, sour cream and garlic

The most original and popular option, which is a little similar to the previous types, see this short video from the YouTube channel:

White garlic sauce for shawarma

The inhabitants of Russia gave it an interesting name, white, probably because it actually turns out exactly that color. There is nothing superfluous in it. You can even say that it turns out better than in the stalls, but again, it’s also not for everybody, everyone has different tastes, some like it, others don’t. What do you do and cook most?

This is the type that is prepared in famous restaurants and rich establishments in my city.

We will need:

  • sour cream - 2 tbsp
  • kefir - 2 tbsp
  • garlic - 3 cloves
  • mayonnaise - 2 tbsp
  • dried herbs to taste
  • salt pepper

Cooking method:

1. Garlic, in this version, is ground with a pestle in a mortar, along with salt, so it is believed that garlic gives off its taste better. Next, add pepper, dried herbs, mix everything and mash again with a pestle.


This homemade sauce can be used for fish, meat or liver, and even chicken.

Important! You can add more maggi if you like to experiment!

Well, this option is definitely for the laziest, take mayonnaise and ketchup in 1 to 1 proportions, mix with a spoon, and then use as intended. If desired, you can add garlic for a garlicky flavor.


Tomato paste shawarma sauce

Personally, I just adore this, probably because I’m a fan of tomatoes, I love making salads from them and drinking juice. Of course, this option is not as popular as all the other previous ones. It is usually done if the meat is dry, then it just softens it.


We will need:

  • tomato juice - 0.5 tbsp.
  • onions - 0.5 pcs.

Interesting! This species is called Turkish.

Shawarma sauce made from yogurt with herbs and garlic

Nowadays, of course, you can buy a ready-made version and season your favorite shawarma with it, but you will agree that this is not the same. I suggest a yoghurt version of the preparation. It can easily replace everyone’s favorite mayonnaise, but it will contain much fewer calories, will be low-calorie and nutritious. The color turns out to be a soft green, it looks very beautiful, doesn’t it?


We will need:

  • natural yogurt, preferably without additives - 2-3 tbsp
  • garlic - 1 clove
  • parsley - a few leaves
  • lemon juice - 0, tsp

Cooking method:

Squeeze the garlic through a special container with holes, a garlic press. Add it to the yogurt, chop the parsley finely and add it there. Add lemon juice and mix everything thoroughly. Cool and fast, everything is ready.

This is where I finish writing, until we meet again, don’t forget to write comments, share reviews and suggestions, or your experiences and opinions. Bye-bye, success and good luck in everything!

P.S. I read on the forum, it turns out there is also an unusual version of Arabic shawarma sauce, based on pickled cucumber. Who tried to do this, write your impressions. It is even considered dietary and low-calorie, due to the fact that it is without mayonnaise.

Many of my readers asked for sauce from Stalik Khankishiev, I wrote about it in a previous article, so read it there.

Shawarma sauce– this is the feature that makes oriental shawarma juicy and tasty.

The essence of shawarma, as shawarma is sometimes called, is that a finely chopped filling of meat and vegetables is placed on a sheet of pita bread, poured over with sauce and wrapped with the free part of the same sheet.

It is clear that with such requirements, shawarma can have hundreds of options - depending on the types of meat and chopped vegetables. But most of all, the shawarma sauce changes the taste of the dish. Every little detail is important in them - the base product, spices, herbs. At the same time, the famous mixture of ketchup plus mayonnaise is primitivism, turning shawarma into high-calorie fast food with a monotonous taste.

Try making shawarma healthy and low-calorie by preparing shawarma sauce at home. At the same time, its taste will only benefit, because it will contain only natural ingredients.

Homemade shawarma sauce. Secrets and features of cooking:

  • the products that are used both for the shawarma itself and for its sauce must be impeccably fresh. This is the key to success.
  • Chopped herbs and vegetables will help increase the thickness of the sauce without additional calories. The more there are, the thicker the sauce.
  • introducing spices into a sauce can completely change its taste, for example, adding spiciness to pepper.
  • The sauce should not be too thick or too thin. The consistency should be soft and homogeneous, without lumps.
  • The richness of the taste will be maximum if the sauce is left alone for 20 minutes after cooking. Having fully revealed its taste (after steeping), the shawarma sauce will highlight the taste of the dish even more clearly.
  • You need to add salt to the sauce at the end of cooking and only after you have tasted it and are sure that additional salt is really needed.
  • spices, herbs and garlic will add even more flavor to the sauce if they are lightly crushed with a pestle before adding to it.
  • The sauce will acquire a brighter color due to paprika, herbs or curry.
  • The sauce is suitable not only for flavoring shawarma. It can be seasoned with meat dishes or salads, served with crackers or snacks, and if there is any leftover, it can be frozen and later (after defrosting) used as a marinade for meat before baking or frying.
  • If the recipe contains mayonnaise, then try making it yourself. Shawarma with homemade mayonnaise sauce is simply delicious.
  • excellent additions to the sauce are: curry, suneli hops, cumin, coriander, parsley (including dried), dill and onions, basil leaves, cilantro, cucumbers (fresh or pickled), as well as fried and ground seeds with butter sesame

My men: husband and son love, so to speak, “fast food”, i.e. percussions. Therefore, their most favorite dishes are pizza, shawarma, and various sandwiches (cold and hot). No, of course, they eat normal food, but they give their preference to snacks. And I myself love to please them, especially my son.
It’s good that nowadays you can buy anything in grocery stores at any time and you don’t have to prepare in advance and run headlong around the city from store to store in search of the necessary goods.

The bag consists of two compartments: one contains a mixture for frying meat, and the other contains a mixture for preparing sauce.

Shawarma is prepared very simply and, most importantly, quickly.

For one packet of seasonings you need 3 long pita breads, a chicken breast, 2 tomatoes, 1 sweet pepper, lettuce, the greens you like.

The chicken is pre-washed, skinned and cut into small pieces. Then it is mixed with the contents of the “meat” bag and fried until golden brown in a frying pan with a small addition of vegetable oil.

Seasoning for preparing the sauce is added to three tablespoons of sour cream and three tablespoons of mayonnaise, mixed and allowed to brew. Personally, I don’t add mayonnaise, I make do with sour cream - it’s not very fatty.

Vegetables, peppers and tomatoes are cut into strips. After the chicken is fried, you can begin to form the shawarma. First, a sheet of pita bread is smeared with the prepared and infused sauce, then vegetables are placed: lettuce, dill, tomatoes and peppers. The chicken goes there too. All that remains is to wrap everything carefully and serve.

Such a bag of seasonings costs 42 rubles here in the Vladimir region.

I like such innovations in the field of cooking that make life easier for us housewives, thanks to which we can save our time and spend hours in the kitchen. Therefore, I try new products that appear on our shelves and which are often advertised on TV. Some of them sometimes don’t suit me, and some, like Knorr for home-style shawarma, take up residence on the shelf in my kitchen for a long time.

In addition, the composition of this seasoning is very good: it contains vegetables and herbs in dry form. Of course, not without any additives in the form of flavor enhancers, but where are we now without them?

Try it, maybe you will like it!
