Homemade shawarma with chicken in lavash

Recipe for 4 servings of homemade shawarma:

300 grams chicken fillet (half)
2 small tomatoes
1 cucumber
5 tablespoons ketchup
mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic
200 grams of white cabbage
4 tablespoons kefir
1 small onion
Armenian lavash 1 pack.
vegetable oil for frying.

Chicken shawarma is prepared at home like this:

Wash the chicken fillet under running water and cut into small pieces.
Finely chop the onion and fry it in a small amount of vegetable oil
When the onion becomes transparent, add fillet pieces to it, add salt and pepper, mix and leave to fry.
We wash the cabbage under water, chop it finely and put it in a bowl.
Salt, pepper, mix, add a small amount of mayonnaise. Salad ready.
Transfer the finished chicken with onions (it cooks very quickly - 5-7 minutes) to a clean plate.
Preparing sauces for shawarma.
Take two small bowls. Squeeze 5 tablespoons of ketchup into one and add a teaspoon of your favorite seasoning (I used khmeli-suneli). Mix well. Pour 5 tablespoons of kefir into the second bowl, add mayonnaise (4 tablespoons per eye) and squeeze out two garlic cloves. Mix well.
We cut tomatoes and cucumbers, cut them thinly into slices and place them on a plate.
We place all the ingredients for shawarma next to each other on the table so that it is convenient to lay them out right away.
We take a large board and place half of one sheet of pita bread on it.
We spread it well with two sauces, place the chicken closer to the right edge in a row (it will be more convenient if the chicken on the plate is divided into 4 parts at once).
Place cabbage in a row next to the chicken.
Place tomatoes and cucumbers on top of the cabbage.
We roll the finished shawarma so as to bend one edge so that the filling does not leak out. We make the other 3 shawarmas using the same principle.
Heat the oil in a frying pan. Fry the shawarma on both sides until golden brown. You can simply put your own shawarma in a preheated oven for a couple of minutes.
If there are sauces left, put a spoonful of sauce in the open part of the shawarma before serving.

Homemade shawarma - general cooking rules

The meat for shawarma is not lean; there must be a small amount of fat present, otherwise it will be a little dry. The entire cooking process takes no more than half an hour, which allows you to whip up a full meal or host unexpected guests.

In addition to meat, you can put whatever you have at hand in shawarma, guided by your own tastes and preferences - fresh cabbage and tomatoes, onions and cucumbers, leaves of any lettuce or mushrooms, the main thing is that all this is thoroughly seasoned with spices and sauce.

Sour cream and mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard are often used in the sauce. Prepared shawarma, such as sour cream or garlic, will not spoil it either. You can add cheese and finely chopped herbs - parsley, dill, cilantro and basil.

They wrap the filling in pita bread; this is not at all difficult. The flatbread is laid out on the table, greased with sauce, there is no need to smear the edges.

The filling is laid out in a long mound closer to one edge and smeared with sauce on top. First, the short edge is wrapped over the filling, then the sides, and then rolled into a roll.

Well, now let’s leave the talk and get down to business together!

Real sauces for shawarma at home - 6 best for homemade shawarma

Sauces give shawarma juiciness and that same oriental taste if they are prepared correctly. You can get by with a combination of mayonnaise, ketchup and sour cream... or you can make a real sauce and turn a simple fast food dish into a wonderful gourmet meal!

Classic shawarma sauce

Squeeze four cloves of garlic into a bowl. Add the juice of half a lime, a tablespoon of sugar, a teaspoon of prepared mustard, half a teaspoon of salt, the same amount of black pepper and paprika, a little saffron, and dried ground basil.

Grind properly. Add a glass of fermented baked milk and a glass of thick homemade sour cream.

Beat in a mixer until smooth and refrigerate for a couple of hours.

Shawarma sauce like in stalls

It is best to prepare in a food processor fitted with a blade attachment.

Chop two medium pickled cucumbers and three cloves of garlic into dust. Add half a teaspoon of curry and a few sprigs of dill, a little coriander and cumin. Chop again.

Pour in half a glass of ayran or fermented baked milk, add half a glass of thick sour cream and half a glass of mayonnaise. Beat until smooth, leave in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.

Arabic shawarma sauce

Very finely chop a bunch of young green onions, pickled cucumber and three cloves of garlic with a knife and mix thoroughly. Salt and pepper to taste.

Garlic White sauce without mayonnaise with sour cream

This gravy is also called white.

Chop the fresh cucumber into dust in a food processor with three cloves of garlic.

Add a glass of thick homemade sour cream, salt and add allspice.

Lightly whisk and place in the refrigerator. It is better to salt with sea salt.

Tomato sauce for shawarma

Grind a small bunch of basil with parsley, two large ripe tomatoes, peeled bell peppers, and two onions through a meat grinder.

Add half a tablespoon of pepper mixture seasoning, half a glass of tomato paste, 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil and simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes. Add salt to taste.

Step-by-step cooking recipe:

Cut the chicken fillet into thin strips.

Pour some vegetable oil into a frying pan and fry finely chopped garlic in it (literally 1 minute).

Add the chicken fillet to the fried garlic and fry it over high heat for 2-3 minutes. Then reduce the heat and fry the fillet for another 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Season the fillet with salt and pepper to taste.

Shred the cabbage into small strips, and grate the carrots on a fine grater (or on a Korean carrot grater).

Carrots and cabbage should be mixed and slightly salted.

Cut the cucumber and tomato into strips.

Mix mayonnaise and ketchup and add finely chopped herbs to them. If you like your shawarma sauce spicier, you can squeeze a clove of garlic into it.

Open the lavash sheet and grease it in the middle with sauce.

Place cabbage and chicken fillet on one edge of the pita bread.

Place tomato and cucumber on top of them.

Roll the pita bread into a tube (slightly tucking the edges on both sides).

Dry the finished shawarma a little in a dry frying pan until a nice crust appears (literally 1 minute on each side). If you have a grill pan or electric grill, then you are lucky and you can dry the shawarma on them. I haven’t gotten an electric grill yet, so I used a regular frying pan.

Bon appetit everyone!

The meat, beef or chicken, can be thinly sliced and fried, I prepared it from boiled meat, and separated the chilled chicken meat into fibers. Cut the pickled cucumber in the same way as fresh. Grate or finely chop the cheese. Thinly slice the pita bread and add it to the salad.

For the dressing, mix well the grated garlic cloves, vegetable oil, mayonnaise, sour cream, suneli hops and hot red pepper powder. Mix all salad ingredients with dressing.

Homemade shawarma with chicken and Chinese cabbage

I love chicken shawarma. But, if only I cook it myself or treat myself to friends. After all, it is at home, with love and care for loved ones, that you can prepare a truly tasty and healthy dish.

I suggest using chicken breast as the main ingredient for the filling. It can be boiled, fried or baked. But most of all I like the smoked fillet recipe. It's much faster and it turns out indescribably delicious too!

List of required ingredients:

thin lavash - 3 pcs.
sour cream - 200 gr.
cucumber - 250 gr.
tomato - 250 gr.
ground black pepper to taste
smoked chicken breast - 300 g (one large)
Chinese cabbage - 3-4 leaves

Step-by-step cooking process:

1. Remove the meat from the bone, and remove the skin if desired. Cut it into medium sized cubes. If you like this appetizer to have chicken in large pieces, you can cut it into slices, for example.

2. Wash the Chinese cabbage, wipe it with a napkin and cut off the dense part. Cut the remaining leaves into 3-4 pieces each.

3. Place sour cream in a separate bowl and lightly pepper. Mix everything well. Place a sheet of pita bread in front of you. If there are dry edges, cut them off. Grease with sour cream sauce and distribute evenly over the flatbread, retreating slightly from the edges.

4. Lay out the lettuce leaves in a strip (in one layer) from the short edge, as shown in the photo. At the same time, you need to retreat a little from the three closest sides.

5. Wash cucumbers and tomatoes. We cut them, similarly to meat, in this case - into cubes. If desired, they can be peeled, but this is not necessary.

6. Place some chicken, cucumbers and tomatoes on a layer of cabbage. Cover the filling with the three closest edges and begin to roll the roll.

Can be served immediately.

But, in this case, the pita bread will be tough and it will be uncomfortable to bite into. Therefore, I recommend that you dry the workpiece in a dry frying pan without oil.

If you have a corrugated grill pan, it will be even better!
