This is the Lebanese version of the Turkish doner kebab or Greek gyros. It is traditionally cooked on a rotisserie in restaurants but this recipe helps anyone make it at home. It can be served on top of a fatoush salad or in a toasted pita sandwich. Dede's garlic sauce is a perfect compliment to this sandwich and is traditionally served that way.

NOTE: TO USE DEDE'S CHICKEN SHAWARMA SPICE USE 1.5 tsp OF IT AND JUST OMIT THE CARDAMOM, 7 SPICES, PAPRIKA, CINNAMON AND CAYENNE PEPPER

Me & Hubby live in Vancouver, Canada, and though there are some restaurants that cater to middle eastern food, none of them are really all that authentic. So I'm so so glad I found your channel, the recipes are so easy to follow and they're all delicious. Takes us back home!..Thanks so much for that :)

First-time poster, just found your awesome site this week. I made this shawarma tonight by itself (no bread) to accompany some homemade soup, and WOW did we all enjoy it! I didn't have cardamom, so I substituted another 1/4 tsp of 7 Spice for it. I also left out the salt, and none of us missed it. Finally, I used a 50-50 mixture of lemon and lime juice vs. all lemon. We will make this often - THANK YOU!
