Moms Shawerma Recipes

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, turmeric, and cinnamon in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and gently squeeze ingredients together until they are well blended. Add chicken thighs to the bag, squeeze out most of the air, seal, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a 12x18-inch baking sheet. Spread onion slices over the bottom; add chicken thighs on top.
• Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven, about 30 minutes. Switch on the broiler and move rack closer to the broiler. Broil chicken until a light char develops, 2 to 3 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients, cover and let marinate for an hour.
• Cook over medium heat in a large saucepan until done (should be dry).
• (I don't like onions and garlic all that much, so i pick the chicken out).
• If you can get arabian pita bread from an international store, do so, it is a million times better than pita.
• Heat bread, spread with a little mayo.
• Put chicken along one side and wrap.
• Variations: try adding french fries, or pickles.
• Instead of plain mayo, mix some mayo with lemon juice, olive oil and garlic.
