CHILLIN Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Been craving this for a long time. Doubtful if the original will ever been seen Lakeside, the large skewer of chicken breasts/thighs would last all week. Found an excellent recipe for Sharwarma and super easy to make flatbreads. https://www.recipetineats.com/chicken-sharwama-middle-eastern/ Like she writes, buy frozen chicken thighs, mix in marinade, and then freeze and defrost/marinade when needed. The flatbreads are more like Chappatis, but they are not the dried out nonsense usually sold here as Pita bread. You can also freeze these too. Accompanied by homemade Harissa, also super easy to make, and bursting with flavors https://smittenkitchen.com/2014/10/homemade-harissa/. Then homemade garlic sauce, which I have posted before http://www.chapala.com/webboard/index.php?/topic/58789-garlic-sauce/&tab=comments#comment-467252 You have to try all of this - an explosion of flavors - all of them good. Especially good with garden fresh tomatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Currently sitting in the land of pho, and smoked meat, and fried chicken, and burgers, and poutine, and sausage carts. Hard to think of following recipes when I can boogie on down the street to one of dozens of shawarma places. Your links look good, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOLINDA MARSHALL Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 I lived in both Cyprus and Beirut in the 60s and have a great taste for such things. I'm also a very serious cook myself and familiar with the excellent sites you mentioned...we live outside San Diego but I plan to be in Ajijic again for August and September and will certainly look for and appreciate your insider comments and links! THANKS SO MUCH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyHomeSweetHome Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Learned from Dede, scrumptious... Friends who eat shawarma every Friday said my recipes are authentic, tastes just like home. Be sure to look up a recipe and make up a batch of 7 spice. If I ever travel over seas and shawarma doesn’t taste this good, I’ll be disappointed but glad I can make it at home. Enjoy!

ComputerGuy Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Was at the largest Asian grocery superstore I've ever seen, in Ottawa, and saw packages of 7 spice, but I've never used it before. I do have (and make) Chinese 5-spice powder; without looking it up on Google, I imagine it is something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
