Yogurt sauce for Shawarma

 From Thomasina Miers in the Guardian: 

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/jun/29/chicken-shawarma-salad-with-tahini-dressing-recipe

1 garlic clove crushed 
20g tahini
Yogurt 
generous spoonful of  honey
100ml extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
 flaky sea salt

Combine crushed garlic, yogurt, tahini, and honey in a small blender or food processor and mix well. 

Add  olive oil and lemon juice. Taste and stir in sea salt/ sprinkle it on top.

For the actual Shawarma, I prefer Nagi's recipe: https://www.recipetineats.com/chicken-sharwama-middle-eastern/ but baked in the oven. 

MARINADE

  • 1 large garlic clove 
  • 1 tbsp ground coriander
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp ground cardamon (less if fresh ground)
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika (hot, sweet, or a mix)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • Black pepper
  • 2-4 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
