Shawarma

Lebanese shawarma features thinly sliced marinated chicken layered on a vertical spit and slow-roasted until the edges are crisp and caramelized while the interior stays succulent. Wrapped in warm flatbread with pickled turnips, garlic sauce, and fresh vegetables, it is Lebanon's beloved street food.
