Just made this for dinner the other night. It was INCREDIBLE! I can't recommend it enough. I used a 3lb roast for 3 people, assuming I'd have leftovers... nope, they loved it so much that they practically licked the pot! The red onion salad was especially divine. I'm keeping a container in my fridge from now on and putting it on everything. Thanks for sharing this recipe! 10/10!

@@MiddleEats hey man! I am happy for you, because you deserve it. On the other hand, I used to work for HelloFresh (as an outsourced customer service agent working minimum wage in eastern europe) and I am disgusted by their ways. Rigid money making off 3rd grade food and supermarket waste sent to customers in tons of plastic, with a subscription system that traps you into the 2nd box before you even try your first one. Sorry to ruin your day like this, I hope you can keep doing what you love and live a great life, have a lovely salary to feed your family, without dirty marketing money.

This is great. I've been missing Egyptian shawarma for many years since I lived there. Shabrawy was my go to spot. Foul with egg, ketchup-mayonnaise, foul with fries salad boiled egg baladi pita bread and a bottle of Fanta. I'm salivating. Best breakfast I ever had, you can toss boulders all day and not get tired.

Made this a couple weeks ago, and WOW!! So tasty! I used ground beef and it worked very well, didn’t need to marinate and cook a long. And I used home smoked salt to infuse a slight grilled taste. Making it again today!

I want to cry after watching this. I've been looking for the best and easiest shawarma recipe, and this is it.

I’ve worked in Middle East for a few years and your videos have helped me fall in love with food in mena. Thanks!

This recipe deserves a wide audience. Really good.

I'm looking forward to making this! Although I might not throw in all the beef at once, but first brown a portion of it in the pan until a solid fond forms, then throw in the rest with all the juices to cook off the fond. I'd hope this might make it taste a bit more "grilled". Also, toasting the pepper might be a way to cheat in these flavors as well.

Great videos and delicious looking recipes! I'm trying this one tonight! Was going to do your chicken shawarma wraps last night, but realized I should have started them and the sauces 2 days ago, so that will be next weekend! Keep up the great work, you're so thorough in your instruction and I love that! I only just discovered you 2 days ago!

you're a hundred percent right Egyptians shawarma is the best. I used to stop at a little roadside stand on Faisal Street before heading down into the Faiyum where I lived in beni suef. I miss those sandwiches so I'll have to try yours thanks.

Made this (and have never actually had schwarma before) for a dinner party, and it was absolutely delicious. Great for a group, and I was able to find the spices in my local grocery store, don’t leave them out. sumac is a new spice for me, and it had a lovely scent and color. Making this again for friends next week.

I worked at a shawarma place for about a year here in Ontario, and our "beef" shawarma was really a combo of homogenized processed beef and lamb, shaved off and served as a wrap, typically with donair sauce (which I think is an Eastern Canadian thing?) It was fine, but a completely different beast (so to speak) than your gourmet work here. I also just love seeing how shawarma looks different depending where you are in the world. So interesting to see the diversity of this dish! Take care buddy! :)

Donair as it’s known in Canada is originally a Halifax dish. Meant to be eaten in an alley at 3AM after a fun night. The further west you go from Halifax, the weirder the donairs get. People in Edmonton put pineapples on their “donairs”. It was invented buy a Greek or Lebanese guy who wasn’t getting much business in his restaurant because maritimers find yoghurt spicy. Someone who tried his experimental dish asked what it was called, and he just blurted out “donair” (because he couldn’t think of a better name at the time). And the name stuck

@Middle Eats No it was September 2019, so not Ramadan. I'm not sure where I went wrong! If I return I will do some very careful research on places to eat before I go. I made your Fasenjan, Aubergine Fatteh and Salata Meshwiya recipes - all turned out great! The chicken for the Fasenjan cooked down a bit much in no time, so people really need to follow the timings you gave. For Salata Meshwiya I put 6 cloves of garlic and I found it more than enough. Next step for Fasenjan will also be to splash out and make Pomegranate molasses from scratch or use a 100% pomegranate one (I sadly ended up with the same 17% one you use in your video). Really enjoying it, keep up the amazing work
