At home, you can really create an original dish that is not a sin to meet guests and surprise your home!
What it is?
A rare lover of tasty food thinks that the name of the dish is not given just like that, but the meaning of the term can tell a lot. For example, what is shawarma, or shawarma? In some countries, it is also called dener kebab. This is a Middle Eastern dish, and of Arab origin. I make this tasty from pita bread or pita, stuffing with minced meat with spices and a salad of fresh vegetables. Since the dish is closer to eastern countries, there is no pork in the original recipe, but in non-Muslim countries such an addition is possible. You can and should eat shawarma without appliances. This and the speed of cooking make shawarma one of the most popular fast food dishes.
Mouth-watering recipe
In the process of cooking shawarma, there is a lot of entertainment that causes excessive salivation. They choose good meat - turkey, lamb, beef, and sometimes chicken. The meat is fried on a special vertical grill, rotating around its axis. As soon as ready, pieces of meat are cut with a long knife, then chopped and added to the filling.
Next, shawarma is flavored with white garlic or red tomato sauce. The final touch is a vegetable salad. Shawarma is wrapped and dipped in the top of the sauce. The taste is amazing, and it takes about five minutes to cook.
At home, of course, this technology cannot be applied, but the recipe for shawarma with sausage seems quite simple.
Putting it into practice
By the way, the variation with the recipe will be no worse than the original, so start working enthusiastically. The recipe for homemade shawarma with sausage allows the addition of both fresh and canned vegetables and sauces to taste. So, you will need: two pita breads, about 100 grams of half-smoked sausage, 50 g of cheese, 1 fresh tomato, several sheets of Chinese cabbage or leaf lettuce, 2 tablespoons of corn, a couple of onion heads, herbs to taste, as well as spices and mayonnaise. For frying, you will need vegetable oil.
Let's start the process: cut the sausage, onion and tomato into slices, add the corn, fry everything in vegetable oil. In the meantime, chop Chinese cabbage or tear leaf lettuce.
Puzzle stage
Shawarma with sausage at home does not have to have an ideal shape, but still, a purchased analogue is not least attracted to this factor. How to properly wrap shawarma? You need to start by putting salad and grated cheese on one sixth of the pita bread. Add some mayonnaise. Topped with sausage filling. Now you can collapse, but you should not rush. Start turning right to left. The bottom edge should overlap to the top. Wrap the pita until the end in a tube. The result is a perfect shawarma with a rectangular sausage. This is the simplest recipe that can be slightly improved with homemade garlic sauce and a bouquet of original spices.
When form does not matter
If all the ingredients are on hand, but you still have not learned how to wrap a smooth envelope from pita bread , then you should not be upset. The taste will not be worse if your shawarma with sausage becomes a very tasty sandwich or roll. Remember that the thinner the pita, the juicier the shawarma. Adding Bulgarian red pepper will add originality to the taste. The dish will be juicier if you put hard cheese on pita bread, but satiety will add a certain amount of boiled eggs and potatoes.
All ingredients must be cleaned and boiled. Cut the sausage. Bell pepper should be cut into half rings, and coat with lavash sauce. The first layer is packed with pepper and potatoes. Next - cheese and sauce again. Now the main filling and shawarma with sausage is rolled up. Send the result of your labors to the oven and keep there for about 5 minutes. As soon as the wonderful aroma began to spread, it was time to extract the shawarma and taste it.
If you make a shawarma in the form of a sandwich, which, incidentally, is much more convenient if you want to take a snack for work or university, then wrap the filling in pita bread with an envelope, and then put it in a frying pan for frying. Readiness can be determined by the appearance of a golden crust. A glass of orange juice will complement such an original snack.
Sauce time
Of course, homemade shawarma with sausage is delicious even when using mayonnaise or ketchup, but homemade sauce will give a lot more vivid impressions. So take 10 minutes to flavor the shawarma with homemade sauce. You won’t regret this time spent!
Start by pickling the onions. To do this, sprinkle it with salt and leave for a while, so that the onions give juice. After that, chop the onion into crumbs and mix with finely chopped garlic. In a separate bowl, mix natural yogurt with a drop of olive or vegetable oil. You can add here egg yolk and a little grated cheese. Now combine the garlic-onion mixture and yogurt. Knead the sauce until it reaches maximum uniformity. So, the delicious garlic sauce is ready, which will give shawarma originality.
To make a tomato analogue even easier. You can use natural tomatoes for this, which must be scalded with boiling water and peeled. Fruits should be stewed with chopped pickled onions, and then added to a mixture of flour or potato starch to make the sauce thick.
When serving, lay hot shawarma on lettuce leaves. Garnish the top with pickled onions or gravy immediately. You can add basil leaves to enhance the aroma. You need to eat the dish hot to feel all the charm and juiciness of the dish. By the way, shawarma with sausage can even be called a semi-diet dish, as there are a lot of vegetables and no fatty meat. The option with homemade sauce will have little effect on the figure, which cannot be said about shawarma with mayonnaise or ketchup. Enjoy your meal!
