Middle eastern chicken shawarma sandwich recipe
July 20, 2012I love me some good Middle Eastern food. A yummy chicken shawarma is a great way to taste the spices & flavors of the Mid East! I’ve written about Middle Eastern food here and here. The way I make this dish is I make a big batch of all the components (all cut up and ready to add to the sandwich) and then store this in the fridge and leave it there for a few days until I’m ready to use it. Then when I want to make a sandwich, I simply take out my tray of fix-ins and assemble!
