Here's how you can make a homemade shawarma platter: Ingredients: For the Shawarma Marinade: 1 lb chicken thighs (or beef/lamb) 3 tbsp yogurt 3 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp lemon juice 3 cloves garlic (minced) 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp coriander 1 tsp smoked paprika ½ tsp turmeric ½ tsp cinnamon ½ tsp cayenne (optional, for heat) Salt & pepper to taste For the Rice: 1 cup basmati rice 2 cups chicken broth (or water) 1 tbsp butter ½ tsp turmeric ½ tsp cumin Salt to taste For the Garlic Sauce (Toum): 4 cloves garlic ¼ cup lemon juice ½ cup olive oil ¼ cup mayonnaise (optional, for creaminess) Salt to taste Sides & Toppings: Pita bread or naan Hummus Tzatziki or tahini sauce Pickled turnips Sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce Instructions: 1. Marinate the Meat In a bowl, mix yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and spices. Coat the chicken (or beef/lamb) well and marinate for at least 1 hour (preferably overnight). 2. Cook the Meat Oven: Preheat to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway. Stovetop: Heat a pan with oil and cook for 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown. Grill: Cook on medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, slice thinly. 3. Make the Rice Rinse the rice until water runs clear. In a pot, melt butter and sauté rice with turmeric and cumin for 1 minute. Add chicken broth, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving. 4. Prepare the Garlic Sauce (Toum) Blend garlic and lemon juice in a food processor until smooth. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while blending until creamy. Mix in mayo (optional) for extra creaminess. 5. Assemble the Platter Place a portion of rice on the plate. Add sliced shawarma meat on top. Serve with pita, hummus, garlic sauce, and fresh veggies. Serving Tips: Garnish with fresh parsley or sumac for extra flavor. Add fries or a simple Middle Eastern salad for variety. Serve with a side of tahini sauce or tzatziki for dipping.
