I tested this recipe including the garlic sauce over and over again. Mixing a combination of pantry spices, garlic, and lemon, I worked on it until I was satisfied with the method and flavour. I knew I was successful when my family assured me we wouldn\u2019t have to go out for chicken shawarma take-out any time soon!<\/span><\/p>\n

The delicious marinade has an exotic flavour made with freshly minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and pepper. It sounds like a lot of ingredients but you likely have all of these in your pantry!<\/span><\/p>\n

What is shawarma<\/span>?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Shawarma is a Middle Eastern food consisting of spiced and marinated meat stacked on a cone-shaped vertical rotating spit and is slow roasted all day. It\u2019s a common street food across the Middle East and is loved by many around the world including here in Canada. The cooked meat is shaved off in shreds and typically served wrapped in a flatbread or pita with salad and garlic sauce.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
