Shawarma is a popular Middle Eastern dish made with thinly sliced meat, such as chicken, lamb, beef, or turkey, seasoned with a fragrant blend of spices like cumin, paprika, and turmeric. The meat is traditionally cooked on a vertical rotisserie, resulting in tender, flavorful slices. Served in a wrap or on a plate, it’s often paired with accompaniments like tahini, hummus, pickles, fresh vegetables, and sometimes a yogurt-based sauce. Shawarma is a rich source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, particularly when paired with fresh veggies. However, it can be calorie-dense due to the cooking oil and sauces, and its sodium content may be high, depending on preparation. Opting for leaner cuts of meat and limiting heavy sauces makes it a more balanced choice.
