🇪🇬 Egypt recipe
Shawarma
Egyptian shawarma is a beloved street food of thinly sliced marinated meat, traditionally slow-roasted on a rotating vertical spit. The meat is shaved off in thin, crispy-edged strips and tucked into warm pita with tahini, pickles, and fresh vegetables. This home version uses a stacked oven method to achieve similar results with remarkable authenticity.
