Spiced lamb strips wrapped in warm pitta with garlic yoghurt. The Middle East's most iconic street food, ready at home in 30 minutes.
Did you know?
Shawarma gets its name from the Turkish word "çevirme", meaning "turning", a reference to the rotating vertical spit it's traditionally cooked on. Street vendors across the Middle East slow-cook it for hours until the outer layers are crisp and caramelised. The home version gets you there in a very hot pan.
