Shawarma Recipe drives all over the world from the Middle East. I remember when I was a kid my uncle who lived in Saudia Arabia often talk about Shawarma (meat, salad, and sauces filled in bread). At that time it was unknown food for all of us. By the time passed one day he found it town and we got interaction with Chicken Shawarma Roll.
Now we have so many shops in town which are selling Chicken Gyros, Chicken Platter Shawarma, Beef Shawarma; simple or with the addition of cheese.
When the first time I went to Saudi Arabia I was surprised to see deeply marinated layers of beef, lamb, or chicken stacked on a vertical spit. I devoured shawarma from many shops, but the best chicken shawarma wrap I loved was with French Fries along with meat, salad, and sauces.
On my last visit I found Platter Chicken Shoarma and yes I enjoyed it more than the wrap. So here is the Platter Shawirma Recipe that I have tried many times and I just love it. 😉
