I’ve been obsessed with Shawarma for a while now! This Mediterranean inspired bowl topped with Shawarma spiced meat is perfect for a weeknight meal and crushes my constant craving for good Shawarma. What’s great about this recipe is that you can top it with whatever veggies you like!
Hummus:
1. Combine all the ingredients (chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, ground coriander, water, salt, and pepper) into a food processor and blend until smooth. Adjust the smoothness by adding a tablespoon of water at a time, avoiding a runny consistency.
Shawarma Meat:
1. In a large skillet, heat up 2 tablespoons of oil and then brown off your ground meat (chicken, beef, turkey, or impossible meat).
2. When your meat is halfway cooked, add your chopped onions and minced garlic and let everything cook down.
3. Once your meat is about 75% cooked, add your spice blend (ground coriander, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, cayenne pepper, ground ginger, ground turmeric, salt, and pepper) and stir to coat all the meat.
Bowl Assembly:
1. Prepare basmati or long grain rice and fork the rice so it’s fluffy.
2. Top your rice with warm Shawarma spiced meat.
3. Optional but recommended - Top the entire bowl with pickled red onions, diced cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced cucumber.
