Authentic Lebanese shawarma #kebab #shawarma #lebanesecuisine

authentic Lebanese shiama from scratch and I mean properly from scratch so I’ve decided to make every single component of a shiama from scratch including the which is a badly pronounced Arabic word for bread there’s also a lot to prep in advance like these pickled turnips they are two most traditional and popular sources to have with shiama is your tahini and your tum which is a garlic paste that is emulsified with oil and lemon to create this fluffy very very garlicy sauce I’m Marin my chicken it with yogurt and tomato paste and garlic and a load of spices and I mean pretty much all of them from that area that’s going to sit overnight in the fridge and then it’s time to cook it up obviously traditional shawam is cooked on a spike but I’ve decided to cook it in my pizza oven I’m also hacking the oven by adding a firebox in there which is probably voiding my warranty but I’ve utilized the high heat from the pizza oven and the smokiness from the wood chips after around 24 hours it’s finally time to eat this but I got to make it first so once I’ve assembled my shaam it’s time to wrap it in paper and then get it back into a pan to crisp up the outside and finally here it is in all its beauty
