Recipe of Mixed Arabic Shawarma
Vida Recetas Editorial
Shawarma is one of the most iconic dishes of Middle Eastern cuisine, and this mixed version combines chicken and pork for a unique flavor experience. Originating in the Arab world, shawarma has won over palates throughout the West thanks to its spiced marinade, juicy meat, and fresh accompaniments. This recipe is ideal for those seeking a hearty, protein-packed dish with an exotic touch, perfect for a family meal or casual gathering.
The key to shawarma lies in the marinade: lemon juice, cumin, garlic, and olive oil that infuse the meat with flavor. Here we prepare it on skewers and bake it, achieving a tender texture inside and lightly golden outside. It is served wrapped in Arabic bread with fresh vegetables, garlic cream, and tahini, creating a balance of tangy, creamy, and crunchy elements.
Variations and tips
- You can substitute the pork with lamb or beef for a traditional version.
- If you prefer fewer calories, use only chicken breast.
- Serve with French fries or pickles for a complete experience.
