About Shawerma
Shawerma is a popular Middle Eastern dish known for its rich flavors and versatility. Traditionally made by layering marinated meat, such as chicken, lamb, or beef, on a vertical spit and slow-roasting it, the meat is shaved off in thin, crispy slices. It’s often served in pita bread or flatbread, accompanied by fresh vegetables, hummus, tahini, or garlic sauce. Its roots trace back to Ottoman cuisine, and it’s now enjoyed worldwide. Shawerma can be a good source of protein, especially when paired with nutrient-rich toppings like fresh salads, tomatoes, and cucumbers. However, it can be calorie-dense due to added oils, sauces, and the carbohydrate-rich bread. Choosing lean meat cuts and minimizing heavy sauces can make it a healthier option.
