Shawarma Seasoning

This spice is good, but a little rose and nutmeg would elevate it to what shawarma really is. I still think it's good and makes awesome grilled chicken.

I made a delicious chicken shawarma dish with this blend and yogurt. Popped it in the air fryer and it looked like it was grilled on an open fire. I also used it to make hummus. The recipe called for cumin which I didn't have so I used this instead. It was so flavorful and probably the best hummus I ever had!

We were looking for a new spice blend to give us some variety in our grilled chicken game. This is IT! Just became our new favorite!

Thanks to the craziness of 2020, we haven't been able to visit our favorite Middle Eastern restaurant. When I saw this shawarma seasoning blend, I thought it was worth trying, and oh, my, am I glad I did! I added a little lemon paste and some olive oil, marinated the chicken, grilled it, and it was absolutely delicious. What a delightful find!

After living in Detroit with its famous Greek Town and many wonderful Middle Eastern restaurants I moved South--and brought my food experiences with me. Now I sprinkle Shawarma on pork tenderloin or cod with sauted onions. It truly is terrific. The seasoning is wonderful for putting some zing into otherwise bland foods, meat or vegetable.

PS: A trip to your store was always on our Thanksgiving trip to Evanston. Alas, during this covid year, we will not enjoy the experience. Thank you for prompt, professional shipping.
