How to Make Chicken Sharwarma

DESCRIPTION
The best thing about anything homemade is that you can prepare it exactly how you like it, no one will know your taste buds or palette better than you, so a homemade meal or snack is always a good idea. You could go to your favorite shawarma joint, but still feel like it’s missing something or an ingredient is too much and overwhelming, let’s face it, it’s not every time our favorite joints get it exactly how we want it.

I decided to share this recipe, first, because I love it so much and second, because sometimes I know you just want to whip up something quick and on the go when you can’t be bothered to actually make rice, Stew, Amala, Soups and the likes , so this is perfect for those moments.

This recipe is a really simple one yet so good! And it can be flexible too. You don’t have to use the exact same ingredients I used, you can add what you want and exclude what you don’t want in it, you can add sausages, use turkey steaks, use beef instead or even mix them all together, it’s your preference really.

I hope you try it out and enjoy this yummy goodness as I did, your taste buds will thank you!

INGREDIENTS
* 300g Chicken Strips
* 2 Flat Bread
* 1 1/2 Cabbage (Shredded)
* 3 Tbsp Ketchup
* 5 Tbsp BBQ Sauce
* 3 Tbsp Mayonnaise
* 1/4 Tsp Dried Thyme
* 1/2 Tsp Curry Powder
* 1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder
* 1/4 Tsp White Pepper
* Cooking Spray
* 1 Stock Cube
* 1/4 Tsp Salt

PREPARATION METHOD
Step1. In a bowl, season the chicken strips with some salt, stock cubes, garlic powder, white pepper, a little dried thyme and some curry powder. Massage the seasoning into the chicken then leave to marinate for 20-30 minutes before grilling...

Step 2. Put a grill pan on fire on medium to low heat, spray in cooking oil, then place your seasoned chicken strips one after the other and allow to cook on each side till properly done.

Step 3. On a chopping board, chop up the chicken strips into small pieces, then set aside...

Step 4. To make the sauce for the shawarma, mix together the Barbecue sauce, some ketchup and mayonnaise and set aside.

Step 5. Take your Flat Bread and split it in two, examine both pieces, the piece with more holes or tears should be at the top, then the better piece on the bottom.

Step 6. Start by laying the sauce onto the flat Bread, then spread the Cabbage in, Then some chicken, then add a little more Ketchup, (avoid putting too much ingredients inside, otherwise it becomes difficult to wrap), secure all the fillings in the middle of the flat bread, so that it is less messy.

Step 7. To wrap the actual Shawarma, use the first piece for the initial wrapping then finish off with second piece of flat bread then fold on both ends. Continue the process till you run out of ingredients. ( To have a clear understanding of HOW TO WRAP THE SHAWARMA, see the video below).

Step 8. Place your shawarma on the grill pan for 5 minutes, and your shawarma is ready.

The only difference between Spring roll and Samosa wrappers is that, Spring roll wrappers are oval in shape and wider while Samosa wrappers are long and slimmer.

Egg brush the part of the wrapper remaining and bind it behind

OGBONO SOUP RECIPE
Ingredients:
Assorted meat and fish: goat meat, kpomo, stock fish, and dried fish
Ogbono seeds
Palm oil
Ground crayfish
Medium onion, sliced
Seasoning cubes (Maggi/Knorr)
Ugu (pumpkin) leaves. Alternative you can use spinach or bitterleaf
Salt and pepper to taste (hot pepper)

Tip: Ogbono soup should be thickish and draws, hence try not to cook ogbono soup with too much water – usually the little stock/water from cooked meat.

Preparation Method:
Get the major ingredients ready. Grind the Ogbono seeds with a dry mill. Pick and cut the pumpkin leaves, and set aside. Defrost chopped spinach if that is what you are using. Grind crayfish and pepper, and set aside.

Wash and clean the meat thoroughly. Cook with sliced onions and seasoning cubes to taste. Cook on low heat – cover pot and allow to it simmer for about 30 minutes. This allows the meat to cook tender and soft, but also helps to release its natural juices.

After 20 minutes, add the stock fish and dried fish. Add the hot pepper and ground crayfish, and continue to cook for the next 10 minutes. Add palm oil, cook for another 5 minutes to allow the palm oil melt and combine well with cooking contents.

Put heat to very low and stir-in ogbono gradually, stir continuously – this allows ogbono to dissolve nicely, and eliminates forming lumps. You will notice the Ogbono start to thicken and draw – keep stirring till the ogbono has completely absorbed the meat stock.
Combine thoroughly and leave to cook for about 15 minutes on medium heat.

Taste for seasoning, salt and pepper – adjust if necessary. Stir occasionally, scraping the ogbono that sticks to the base of the pot.

Finally, add the pumpkin leaves (or any of the alternative leaves you using). Stir very well, turn the heat low and allow to cook for about 5 minutes.

Best served with pounded yam or garri (eba). OR serve with your favourite kind of fufu (swallow).
Enjoy!😄
