Chicken Shwarma

 Chicken Shwarma is wonderful year round, but quite delightful in Summer, when you prepare it yourself and with fresh pita, caçik (tzatziki) with fresh mint and dill, pickled sumac onions, and hot sauce  

Chicken Shwarma

(Serves 4)

8 skinned chicken thighs, bone in or boneless 

1-2 tbs Turkish Baharat or Duq’qah

1 chopped onion

1 tsp salt

3-6 cloves garlic, finely chopped 

Good drizzle olive oil 

2-3 tbs lemon juice 

In a small blender, mix the Duq’qah or Turkish Baharat, chopped onion, salt, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil. Skin the chicken thighs and let marinate, in the fridge, for a few hours. 

Fry or grill until fully cooked. Enjoy with pita bread and tzatziki.
