Lamb Shawarma Pitas

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Quick Meals
Shawarma gets its name from the Arabic word for "turning," referring to the vertical rotisserie. Replicating this at home is hard but not impossible! The secret is the marinade and a high-heat sear: thin lamb strips are steeped in spices, then scorched in a hot skillet to mimic those crispy edges from the spit.
