The meat is then cut into thin slices and served in a wrap with fresh salad and tahini sauce. However, each household has their own version and variations of shawarma.\u00a0<\/p><p>I have my preferences, too. I prefer baking the red meat shawarma in the oven and turn on the grill function in the end which gives it a very delicious flavour and a nice crispy texture. But for the chicken variant, I am absolutely satisfied with my deep skillet. It turns out to be as great and tender as the one served at our local Lebanese and Syrian snack bar.\u00a0<\/p><p>But that\u00b4s not it. You can use this chicken meat as filling for your wrap, enjoy it on its own with a nice refreshing salad or try serving on bed of raisin rice like I usually do. It is an easy dish to bring together, but tastes amazingly delicious. Together with a refreshing yoghurt tahini sauce and salad, its a party on a platter!\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b9cd2e0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b9cd2e0\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d8d26b5\" data-id=\"d8d26b5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70d7022 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"70d7022\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/chefonrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/blogs\/shawarma-rice\/Middle_eastern_shawarma-homemade-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Middle_eastern_shawarma\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chefonrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/blogs\/shawarma-rice\/Middle_eastern_shawarma-homemade-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chefonrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/blogs\/shawarma-rice\/Middle_eastern_shawarma-homemade-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/chefonrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/blogs\/shawarma-rice\/Middle_eastern_shawarma-homemade-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/chefonrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/blogs\/shawarma-rice\/Middle_eastern_shawarma-homemade-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/chefonrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/blogs\/shawarma-rice\/Middle_eastern_shawarma-homemade-720x960.jpg 720w, https:\/\/chefonrhine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/blogs\/shawarma-rice\/Middle_eastern_shawarma-homemade-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d34f98f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d34f98f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-22bbe10\" data-id=\"22bbe10\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-757e330 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"757e330\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\"><h4>What To Make?<\/h4><p><strong><br \/><\/strong>There are lots of ways you can play around with your delicious Shawarma dish, feel free to use your imagination and creativity:<br \/><br \/><\/p><ul><li>Chicken shawarma: The star of the show is the chicken.

My first choice is the exceptionally fragrant Basmati (<a href=\"https:\/\/chefonrhine.com\/home\/2020\/04\/04\/cooking-basmati-the-right-way\/\">Read here, why<\/a>). A sweet addition of raisins or sultanas goes really well with its delicate taste and fluffy texture.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li>Tahini Yoghurt : is not a must but highly recommended.
