Garlic mayonnaise adds zest, revealing depth of flavor. This shawarma is convenient for both a quick snack and a full meal. After a light warming in the microwave, it becomes even more aromatic as the ingredients meld together. This dish is especially suitable for those who appreciate healthy yet hearty food filled with rich flavors and traditional notes of the Caucasus.
