Ingredients
- 2 lbs. Shawarma meat – dark chicken cutlets (female (1 kg))
- 1¾ oz. lamb fat (recommended)
- ½ tbsp. Baharat spice
- ½ tbsp. Hawaij spice for soup
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¼ cup oil
Instructions
- Rinse and cleanse the chicken cutlets using some vinegar (leave the cutlets whole).
- In a small bowl, mix all the spices along with a tablespoon of oil to form a seasoning rub.
- Thoroughly coat the chicken with the rub from all sides.
- Heat up a Teflon-coated (non-stick) frying pan or a grilling rack designed for stovetop grilling (known as plancha or griddle).
- Put the lamb fat (or you can substitute it with oil) in the pan.
- Once hot, transfer the cricket cutlets to the pan.
- Let the cutlets roast (while still whole) for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
- Transfer the cutlets onto a cutting board and cut into very thin slices.
- Return the chicken slices back to the frying pan and let them cook for a few more minutes until the meat is well-roasted but not dry.
- Transfer the chicken directly onto pita bread, flatbread (laffa), or a baguette. Top with garlic yogurt sauce before rolling into a chicken shawarma sandwich.
