Many of us love shawarma very much and buy it at the first kiosk we come across, which may not have a very favorable effect on our health. Shawarma prepared at home will not only be tasty, but also healthy. In this article we will share several recipes for preparing this dish with our own hands from quality ingredients.

Perhaps it’s no secret that shawarma came to us from the East. Shawarma is a national dish in Turkey; they have it as fried meat with various vegetable salads. You can wrap any meat of your choice in pita bread. In Turkey, it is customary to wrap lamb, and the method of preparing the national dish is slightly different from the version to which we are accustomed.

Preparing this dish is not very difficult and does not take much time, and we will try to help you with this.

Of course, the main ingredient is meat; in addition, tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, herbs, mushrooms, canned corn and more are added. You can wrap whatever your heart desires in pita bread.

There are also gourmets who, apart from meat and sauce, do not add anything else. Of course, this is a matter of taste. To add a piquant taste, various seasonings are added to the dish.

Also, if desired, add sour cream or cheese, mayonnaise and other sauces. If you like greens, you can also add them, for example, lettuce, dill, green onions, cilantro.

When preparing shawarma at home with your own hands, you decide which recipe you choose, how many ingredients will be included in the dish and what you want to get in the end.

What is the secret of cooking?

Carefully inspect the pita bread that you purchased for making homemade shawarma. Study the production time. Lavash that has begun to dry cannot be used for this dish; you simply cannot wrap the filling in it.

Before preparing shawarma at home, you need to marinate the meat in advance. In order for shawarma to resemble the street (professional) version, it is necessary to fry the meat according to certain requirements. For this we need cast iron.

Before placing the meat in the pan, pat it dry with a napkin to remove excess water. No oil is used when frying; be careful not to burn the meat. Once you have wrapped the filling in the pita bread, lightly fry the dish in a dry cast iron skillet if possible.

Sauces for the dish

The most suitable sauces in this case are garlic and hot. There is no difficulty in preparing them. To prepare garlic sauce, we need sour cream, garlic, herbs and canned cucumber. To prepare hot sauce, we need to take tomato paste, parsley, sunflower oil, and lime juice.

To prepare, you need to chop everything and add as much sauce to the shawarma as your heart desires. In Turkey, it is customary to use several sauces at once in one dish. Or choose one that you definitely like.

If you want your shawarma to turn out like a professional’s at home, you need to learn how to roll it correctly so that the sauce won’t leak out of it.

To do this, you need to lay the pita bread on the table and sprinkle a little lemon juice.

Spread the pita bread with sauce or several at once. Place the filling, place the meat on top of the vegetables, and add the sauce. Wrap the filling in pita bread.

Vegetarian lavash with eggplant and tomatoes

It is better to take Armenian thin lavash; it is elastic, so the food will not break through it.

Preparing vegetables:

Finely chop the greens.

Cut the tomato into large cubes.

Onion - in half rings.

Slice the eggplant lengthwise.

It is better to salt the eggplants and let them stand for 20 minutes so that they are not bitter. After this, drain the liquid that has drained from them and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side. We do this over high heat, pouring a little vegetable oil into the frying pan.

Cut the processed cheese into thin slices.

Having cut the pita bread into two parts, we draw a “path” of mayonnaise. Sprinkle finely chopped herbs on top (in this case it is parsley and dill).

Place the eggplant on the greens, followed by the blue onion.

Blue is best as it is not bitter and very juicy. Next is the tomato, you can lightly add salt and pepper.

In this case, processed cheese is taken with the addition of pepper, but you can also use the classic creamy flavor or another cheese of your choice.

We try to lay out the filling so that the edges of the pita bread remain free. Roll the pita bread together with the filling into a tube.

At the same time, put the frying pan on the fire and heat it up quite well. There is no need to pour oil, as it is necessary for the ingredients to simply warm up and the cheese to melt.

After five minutes, the shawarma can be turned over on the other side and covered with a lid. After 3-4 minutes, turn off the heat and let stand for a while.

Bon appetit!
