Homemade Chicken Shawarma
2 servings
20 minutes
Making shawarma at home is easier than it seems. You just need to get some thin Armenian lavash and learn the secret of a delicious filling. The main trick in this recipe is the Korean carrots and red onions, which add piquancy and pungency to the rather featureless chicken meat. The advantage of homemade shawarma over store-bought is obvious - at least you will know exactly what you added to it.
