Planning on having homemade chicken shawarmas for dinner tomorrow. This requires advance preps to marinade the chicken thighs for atleast 12 hrs. Ingredients Garlic, crushed Onion, grated Buttermilk or yoghurt Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon Tomato paste White vinegar Ground cumin Ground coriander Ground ginger Aleppo pepper or red chill flakes Smoked paprika Ground cinnamon Ground turmeric Ground allspice Ground cardamom Black pepper Salt Sugar Mix everything together and put in your refrigerator. I'm also making my own shawarma pickles. Very easy..put cucumbers, carrots, garlic and green chill into a pickling jar, add salt, sugar, citric acid, equal quantities of vinegar and boiling water.
