To marinate the shawarma meat: you'll need 2 tablespoons olive oil + 1 tablespoon white vinegar + 1/2 teaspoon salt. Allow chicken to marinate for 10-20 minutes and 1 hour to 24 hours for beef. Here's a recipe for my beef shawarma bowls we love to make with this seasoning. And here's one for chicken shawarma wraps.

Authentic Shawarma seasoning blend, just the way it&#x27;s made in the Middle East. It&#x27;s so fragrant, delicious, and easy to make.

Shawarma Seasoning

cumin

coriander

garlic powder/granules

paprika

First, you need to collect the spices. I don’t recommend adding any extras such as chili flakes as that will change the flavor and you’ll end up with a different spice blend.

You can either collect ground spices and just mix them, or collect whole spices and then grind them. It depends on what you have available.

Shawarma Seasoning adds tons of amazing Middle Eastern flavor to all sorts of dishes.

Make my shawarma spice blend to use in shawarma recipes. Bold, bright, and full of flavorful seasonings like cumin, coriander, and cayenne.

Shawarma Spice Blend

tsp black pepper

tsp coriander

tsp cumin

tsp sweet paprika

tsp ground sumac

tsp turmeric

cayenne

clove

Place all of the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until mixed or alternately blend in a spice blender. Store in an airtight container, good up to 6 months.

This was the best of the several spice blends I've seen online, mostly because of the sumac. I also added 1 tsp za'atar, not the blend, but the oregano related herb. Sumac, za'atar, and cumin remind me most of the tastes of the Middle East where I lived for 6 years.

Found you when looking for a koobideh recipe and this recipe is another winner! Thanks. You make me look like I know what I'm doing for my family. I surprise them with your Middle Eastern recipes.

You know your way around a spice pantry. Well done. I've made it three times now and this does not disappoint.

The aroma when roasting is amazing and the taste matches. Thanks Kevin.

Works great on lamb and chicken. This past weekend we used it again and everyone loved the chicken! Thanks!

Another winner for me Kevin. This is so good on chicken. #recommend

We used it on lamb this past weekend and can't decide if we prefer this or the recipe for your lamb shawarma with the onion paste instead. Both are wonderful!
