Homemade Shawarma

To prepare a delicious meal that will delight both family and friends, we start with the necessary ingredients. We need chicken meat, preferably breast or thighs, four medium potatoes, a small cabbage, a red onion, a ripe tomato, a few pickled cucumbers, a clove of garlic, sour cream, thyme, oil, vinegar, salt, and ketchup.

The first step is to wash the chicken meat well, then cut it into long strips, being careful not to make them too thin to avoid drying out, but also not too thick for even cooking. Over the strips of meat, we sprinkle a spoonful of spices, which may include paprika, pepper, or any other herbs you prefer. We mix well to ensure that each piece of meat is evenly coated with the flavors.

In a hot pan with oil, we fry the strips of chicken until they become golden and crispy. This process should not take more than 10-15 minutes. In the meantime, we take care of the potatoes. We peel them, wash them, and cut them into sticks. We fry the potatoes in hot oil, constantly stirring them to brown evenly and become crispy.

We also finely chop the cabbage and mix it with salt, oil, and vinegar to taste, creating a fresh salad that will add a nice contrast to our meals. We peel the red onion and chop it into small pieces, while the tomato is sliced thinly. The pickled cucumbers are cut into rounds, and the clove of garlic, crushed with the blade of a knife, is finely chopped and mixed with sour cream, thyme, and salt, creating a flavorful sauce.

After the potatoes and chicken are fried, we remove them onto absorbent towels to eliminate excess oil. Now comes the assembly stage. We take a tortilla and generously spread it with the sour cream sauce. Then we add a layer of fried potatoes, followed by the strips of chicken. On top, we add a bit of ketchup for extra flavor, cabbage salad, red onion, tomato slices, and rounds of pickled cucumbers. Finally, we complete with a little fresh green salad.

This combination of ingredients not only looks appetizing but also tastes absolutely delicious! Each bite offers an explosion of flavors, and the varied textures make this dish perfect for any occasion. Enjoy it with your loved ones!
