Shawarma
Shawarma is a delicious wrapped sandwich. The meat is traditionally cooked in a tower and sliced from this tower like doner kebab, but most of us don’t have the necessary equipment to do that at home! Here is a recipe which gives a really good approximation to the shawarma you’ll buy from a stand.

- Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the meat just starts to brown.
- To prepare the shawarma, heat the bread to make it soft. Spread on some tahini sauce. Place cooked meat and your preferred choice of filling. Fold, wrap in foil, and place in a an oven at 150°C for 5 -10 minutes to warm through.
- Unwrap and enjoy!.
Titli's Tips
To get your meat thinly sliced, place it in the freezer for 5 to 6 hours. It becomes hard enough to slice thinly, but not too hard that you can’t slice it at all.
For a different shawarma, try it with sliced avocado in the filling.
