There is an easier way to make Shawarma than 8 hours. You can use a pre-made marinade by Teta Foods. You just add 4 tbls per lb of meat, let it sit for an hour (or overnight, then grill, bake, broil, or cook in a skilet. They also have the Taratoor (Tahini Sauce and Garlic spread known as Toum.

I enjoyed making this recipe on my new "Spinning Grillers" Shawarma machine that I have purchased from Amazon. I have used skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breast. Added 1 teaspoon of cumin. The curry powder gave the recipe an authentic Middle Eastern flair. My vertical Shawarma broiler crisped the chicken from the outside while keeping it moist on the inside. It is like having your favorite Shawaram shop in your backyard. If you need more information about this Grill you can Google Spinning Grillers.

My husband is Egyptian, and we've had shwarma both in the Middle East and NYC. This was a good, easy recipe. Yes, the curry powder isn't traditional in the ME, but you will find it used in a lot of the "halal meat" carts of NYC. The key to this is serving the shwarma with toum--a Lebanese garlic sauce, similar to Aioli, but without the egg yolks. (You can find a recipe on Allrecipes Ideally, you should also look for pickled turnips, and a nice chopped salad to go into your pita. BTW, pita freezes easily... and can either dethaw on the counter rather quickly or will be like new after 20 seconds or so in the microwave.

All of the reviews made me want to check out Guy's recipe as well. While I usually like his food, I can't bear to make shwarma with spinach. That is just too weird for me. So, we'll stick to this recipe.. with a bit of tweaking. I'd add a little greek yogurt into the marinade... and maybe some parsley, cayenne, and cumin. We'll see. :

So, this isn't a traditional chicken shawarma, but it's really tasty non the less. I marinaded it for about 6 hours and cooked it stove top on a grill pan. It had so much flavor and was really moist. And still tasted great as left overs for lunch the next day. I wasn't a big fan of the sauce. A little too runny for my preference. I would recommend either using a store bought hummus or taziki sauce. Served it with warm pita bread and a side of couscous. It was a very satisfying meal and the marinade was really easy to make. If you prefer stuffing it in a pita, try a little tomato, red onion or persian cucumbers to add a little coolness to all the spice.

This is not the shawarma recipe from Guy's big bite. IF you would like that recipe, search for "Good Karma Schawarma." (Note the different spellings for "schawarma."

Can someone please give detailed instruction as to Guy's way of making this. I really want to try it his way but missed what he put in the marinade; amounts of each ingredient. This looks fantastic! Can't wait to try it.

Karma Schawarma. Marinade ingredients are yogurt, garlic, onion, viengar, parsley, oregano, salt, cumin, pepper, red chili flakes and sage. Then it's baked as shown on the program. Haven't tried it yet, but it looks outstanding!
