Shawarma is a traditional Levantine cuisine which is popular among the Middle East and the Mediterranean. This cuisine consist of meat cut into thin slices, stacked in a cone-like shape, and roasted on a slowly-turning vertical rotisserie or spit. Originally made of lamb or mutton, today's shawarma may also be chicken, turkey, beef, or veal.[1][2][3] and include toppings like tahini, hummus turnips and amba. Thin slices are shaved off the cooked surface as it continuously rotates.[4][5]. This can be on the grill for as long as a day. Shawarma is one of the world's most popular street foods, especially in Egypt and the countries of the Levant, the Arabian Peninsula, and beyond.[6]
Shawarma is prepared from thin cuts of fat or seasoned marinated lamb, mutton, veal, beef, chicken, or turkey. The slices are stacked on a skewer about 60 cm (20 in) high. onion, a tomato, or a halved lemon is sometimes placed at the top for decoration. Lamb fat may be added to provide extra fat for juiciness and flavor. A motorized spit slowly turns the stack of meat in front of a heating element, continuously roasting the outer layer. Shavings are cut off the rotating stack for serving, customarily with a long, sharp knife.[7]
