Shawarrma - Marinated Grilled Meat

Zubereitung:

A common sight in the streets of the Middle East is the Shawarrma stand where an electric rotisserie or revolving spit slowly cooks marinated lamb or beef slices which are served up as tasty sandwiches. Since you are unlikely to have access to a rottisserie, here is a modified recipe for homemade Shawarrma which can be cooked under the grill at home.

1. Slice the meat very thinly into circles about 12cm (41/211).

2. Mix the marinade ingredients together thoroughly and pour over the meat slices. Leave in a covered container in the refrigerator overnight.

3. Remove the meat from the marinade and arrange the slices under the grill. Grill, turning once, so that it is browned on both sides.

4. Cut the grilled meat into fine shreds and serve in the pouch of half a loaf of Khubuz together with sliced tomatös and onions.

Variations: if you prefer you can cook the meat slowly in a greased baking our the marinade over the meat for extra moisture.
