Shawarma

                          

                     

This is a dish loved by almost everyone. You can serve it as breakfast, or mid afternoon snack, or in my own case even as brunch :-D. You can eat it alongside a hot cup of tea or a cold drink. And home made shawarma's are tastier and obviously cheaper than buying from a restaurant.

Ingredients:

Lebanese / shawarma bread 

Chicken/ meat - cooked

Sausages 

Cabbage

Mayonnaise 

Ketchup 

Salad cream 

Pepper sauce- you can buy this at a supermarket or you can make at home. To make the pepper sauce, simply grind together a small onion and a reasonable amount of pepper and fry with a little oil for a few minutes.

Direction:

Dice the cabbage, mince the chicken/meat and keep aside. The next step is to cook the sausage using whatever method that is convenient for you. I find that it is easier to cook in a microwave for a few seconds - not a second longer! I once made the mistake of leaving it for 2 minutes, all that was left of it was a dry piece of stick. Lol!

Mix the salad cream and mayonnaise to form a paste. 

Tip* I mixed together the saladcream, mayonnaise and pepper sauce, its alot easier this way.

     

Place the bread on a clean surface, spread the diced cabbage on the bread, then the meat, followed by the sausage, then squeeze the saladcream/ mayonnaise paste on it.

 

Squeeze the ketchup on it.

Partially close from left to right, then from right to left.

Place it in a sandwich toaster for 2 minutes, or if that is not available, simply place in a heated frying pan. Enjoy! :-D
