About Shawarma sandwich
Shawarma is a flavorful and popular Middle Eastern street food, featuring thinly sliced meat—typically chicken, beef, lamb, or turkey—marinated in a blend of spices like turmeric, garlic, and paprika. The meat is vertically roasted on a spit and then packed into a soft flatbread or pita, often accompanied by fresh veggies such as lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions. Common toppings include garlic sauce, tahini, or hummus, adding richness and creaminess to the dish. Shawarma offers a balance of protein from the meat and fiber from the vegetables, making it a hearty meal. However, its calorie count can increase due to the addition of creamy sauces and fried sides like french fries, often wrapped within the sandwich. Opting for whole-grain bread, leaner cuts of meat, and lighter sauces can make shawarma a healthier choice while still delivering its signature savory, aromatic taste.
