What Is Shawarma?


Shawarma originated in the middle east, It came from the word cevirme which means something that is turned, in this case it is the turning of the rotisserie of piled thinly sliced meat marinated with exotic herbs and spices. You can get creative with your own spice mix but in this recipe, I used a premade 365 shawarma marinade from whole foods. Mushrooms fully marinated, flavorful, seared to perfection paired with Trader Joe’s Tzatziki and an onion tomato relish. Give this one a try, a healthy alternative to your conventional Shawarma. 

How we made it Vegan?

Substitute mushrooms for meat. We make mushrooms so flavorful by marinating it in shawarma premade mixture. Make sure your marinade is vegan. Sear it in a hot pan for that sweet caramelization.

Variations

Feel free to use different marinades, miso for an Asian flavor, harissa for that middle eastern kick. Get creative with your marinades and mushrooms. Lions mane, shiitakes, portobellos are accessible out there. Oysters are one of my favorites too!

Description

Shawarma originated in the middle east, It came from the word cevirme which means something that is turned, in this case it is the turning of the rotisserie of piled thinly sliced meat marinated with exotic herbs and spices. You can get creative with your own spice mix but in this recipe, I used a premade 365 shawarma marinade from whole foods. Mushrooms fully marinated, flavorful, seared to perfection paired with Trader Joe’s Tzatziki and an onion tomato relish. Give this one a try, a healthy alternative to your conventional Shawarma. 

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare Flat Bread

    Flatten 2 balls of pre made dough (Trader Joe’s). You may use your hands or rolling pin. In a hot pan melt olive oil and butter and throw in your flat bread. Watch it puff up a bit, it is pretty fun. Flip to cook other side. The smell of home made flat bread is definitely appetizing.

  2. Prepare Mushrooms

    Tear up or slice up mushrooms in bite sized pieces, in a bowl pour in marinade. We are using 365 shawarma marinade but feel free to get creative with your spices. leave to sit for a couple of minutes for the flavors to get fully absorbed. 

    In a hot pan, give mushrooms a good sear. Put a plate or something heavy on top to get full searing effect meaning more surface area of the mushrooms will be touching the heat. This technique will emulate the texture of the shawarmas fully browned rotisserie style meat. 

    Remove the weight on top then stir continuously until fully cooked. 

     

  3. Prep Salad

    Thinly slice tomato and onion, in a bowl drizzle some olive oil and squeeze some lemons. This refreshing simple salad will go on top of our epic Shawarma.

  4. Assemble and present

    Spread Tzatziki on flat bread. Once again we use Trader Joe’s Vegan Tzatziki. Love it that Trader Joe’s Vegan items are growing. 

    Throw in your flavorful mushrooms and finish by garnishing with Onions and Tomato salad. 

    Enjoy.

Note

Mushrooms are a good replacement for meat. Succulent and juicy texture seasoned with exotic spices of the middle east balanced out with Tzatziki on a fluffy toasty home made bread. It is like exploring the middle east in the comfort of your own kitchen.
