About Shawarma djej

Shawarma Djej is a popular Middle Eastern dish featuring marinated, spiced chicken that is slow-cooked on a vertical rotisserie and shaved into tender slices. The chicken is typically seasoned with a blend of garlic, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, cardamom, and other fragrant spices, creating a rich, savory flavor. Often served in a warm pita or flatbread, Shawarma Djej is paired with accompaniments like tahini, hummus, fresh vegetables, pickles, and a drizzle of garlic sauce. This dish is high in protein, thanks to the chicken, and offers some nutritional benefits from the fresh veggies and healthy fats in the tahini or olive oil used for marinades. However, it can be calorie-dense, particularly when served with sauces or fried sides, and may be high in sodium. Enjoying it in moderation and with wholesome sides like salad can make for a more balanced meal.
