There you go. Straightforward shiuama spice mix. Very, very easy, very fragrant uh spice mix to be used on your meats. There you go. Hi everyone. Welcome to Backyard Chef. I’m Rick. Today, shama spice mix. We all love a shawama, whether it be chicken or lamb or whatever. Okay. And you know the spice combination is of choice really. But you know I’ve got all the spices laid out here. Okay. Now the only um ingredient that I would say is optional is sumac. Now, sumac has been introduced into a shuama spice mix just to give that sour element and it saves you using limes or lemons or anything like that. It’s already in. So, in the ingredients there will be a full list. Sumac will be listed as optional. Okay. How do you make it? You take all your spices. You take a bowl and you dump the whole lot in there. Now, I’m not spinning this out doing every individual spice. They’re all in there. Give them a mix. Nice and straightforward. Wow, what a fantastic smell. There you go. Shove it in a bag, put a silicone gel sache in there, and that will keep. There you go. That’s shelf stable. That is shuama spice mix. Easy. There you go. Straightforward shiuama spice mix. Very very easy, very fragrant uh spice mix to be used on your meats. There you go. [Music]

Nice! Thanks Rik!
Will watch this once I've finished cooking a dopiaza!
Great timing! Sumac is blooming here so Iβll cess it out!
Fantastic. Thanks for sharing, Rik.
I predict a chicken shawarma in the near future and I can't waitπ. Thank you so much for sharing Rick ππ
Every time Iβm away for a while I come back at the most excellent time! This looks great! Thanks!

Thank you for sharing
Wow! This is a wonderful blend of spices. I'm putting this in my save and sharing. Thanks Chef Rik. Cheers!
Love shawarma! Hey Rik, wondering if you may know how those 1980s canteen Currys were made? They were very mild and had a few sultanas in? Nothing special and likely British curry but I kinda miss em. I call it a canteen Curry.
Is there a spice that would substitute for cumin? I'm allergic to it. Leaving it out is always an option, but I keep looking.
Beautiful spice blend. I can hardly wait to use it. Rik, Thank you
Okay Rik, Iβm excited β¦ now could you show us how to use it!! Iβd prefer beef, but whatever you think for a beginner! Thanks Buddy!!
Perfect for the bbq π
Nice one xx
Looks excellent, Rik. Thank you.
Checked your ingredients list, and I've got all of that, so I will give this a go. Off to your 2nd upload. Cheers Rik.
Ha, ha ha! Don't bother me with the details, they're in the written recipe below. π β€ Thanks! β€
I Loooove SUMAC!! It resembles dried pomegranate in Indian food β¦ but Sumac is not bitter. I just had pizza with sumac on it π β¦ anytime I need that sour flavour, I grab sumac π.
Love these spices combo, my go to spices for a lot of dishes too!
Thanks Rik! Happy Cooking π«Άπ½π«Άπ½π¨βπ³π¨βπ³π¨βπ³π¨βπ³π«Άπ½π«Άπ½

CHEF RIK FOR ALWAYS SHARING WITH US ππ―
WE APPRECIATE YOU β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Fabulous recipe as always Rik. Many thanks. One question: When you refer to onion and garlic powder, do you mean onion and garlic salt? I can't find onion or garlic "powder" in any supermarket. Thanks again.
Would love to make it, but you didn't tell us what spices to use
I used this, changed my life
Learning all the time on this channel! Thanks Rik! Youβre the best! β₯οΈππΌ.
