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.
I remember eating chicken shawarma at my big middle eastern family gatherings. I found this spice and wanted to give it a try to see how close it would be to my memory. I am so excited to say that I have found the closest (and dare I say, more delicious) spice! I highly recommend to spice up a simple chicken dish.
In olive oil, garlic, lemon and some shwarma seasoning... grilled them to perfection! So flavorful!
We blended this seasoning with some olive oil and fig balsamic vinegar for a lamb leg steak marinade. What great flavor! Nice change up from the routine lamb seasoning we had been using - the flavors just popped. We also sprinkled the seasoning on roasted asparagus which was a huge hit. Since that experiment my family has been using this seasoning on just about everything.
