How to make Chicken Shawarma

    • Wash the chicken in cold water, pat dry, gently pound in between plastic bags, then reserve in a big bowl

     

    Marinade

     

    • Place all the marinade ingredients except yogurt and oregano in a blender and blend until smooth. Whisk in the yogurt and oregano. Taste and adjust seasoning. Pour the marinade over the chicken and leave in the fridge for at least an hour/overnight
    • Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a heavy bottom pan. When it is very hot pick out half the pieces and lay flat in the pan. Sear over high heat until light brown, then turn and cook until done. Leave to rest for 10 minutes on a chopping board while you cook the rest. Chop into bite sized pieces and keep warm

     

    Assemble

     

    • Line the base of each pita half with a lettuce, top with a little salad, followed by chicken, then some more salad, then a drizzle of garlic yogurt sauce. Repeat for rest and serve with extra sauce on the side if desired
