But this is not an excuse to give it up altogether, because it is not difficult to cook at home. Now we will tell you how to marinate meat for shawarma.
How to cook meat for home use?
Ingredients:
- chicken meat - 400 g;
- black pepper peas - 1 teaspoon;
- cardamom whole - 1 teaspoon;
- zira - 1 teaspoon;
- Dried garlic - 1 teaspoon;
- Ground turmeric - 1 ½ tsp;
- ground paprika - 1 teaspoon;
- salt - 1/2 teaspoon;
- little vegetable - 20 ml.
Preparation
For the preparation of shawarma, it is better to use chicken meat from thighs, since in the loin the meat is too dry. So, cut the meat from the chicken thighs, remove the skin. Pieces of the fillet obtained slightly beat off just a palm, just to make them a little smoother. Lubricate them with vegetable oil. Spices are placed in a mortar and thoroughly rubbed. The resulting mixture is well rubbed meat from all sides and leave a minimum for an hour.
For a real shawarma, the meat is fried on a spit and cut as it is prepared. But at home, it's unlikely that anyone will have such an adaptation. But even without it, you can do without. So, let's use the frying pan. We put it on medium heat, lightly grease with refined vegetable oil, lay the pieces of chicken and fry them for about 8 minutes on each side. Then the finished meat is tightly wrapped in foil and leave for 5 minutes at rest. Then we cut it with stripes and proceed directly to the formation of shawarma.
