Chicken Shawarma

N4sir · Mar 1, 2020

I put some chicken thighs and breasts to marinate last night for Shawarma this evening.

Made a nice Greek salad and rice pilaf to go with the chicken Shawarma as well as a garlic sauce for the chicken.

Oh, and you can't have this meal without hummus and olives.

I almost forgot to get a picture of the chicken on the Keg. This was the last of the chicken not quite as done as it should be.

Same Question I have.

I've made hummus a few times. Not particularly hard, a bit tedious and time consuming if you hull the chick peas. You don't need to hull the peas but is does make it a little better.

Hard to beat homemade. I find store bought to be very salty now. I do them as hummus & bean dip combined which are pretty good.

This may sound insane, but Blue Runner makes a killer *hummus base;* their phrasing, not mine.
It’s only available in #10 food service cans via wholesale.
A friend of mine got some by mistake (they own a catering business) and asked me if I wanted it.
Fantastic stuff.
It’s just chickpeas, salt and oil processed down finely.
You add tahini and whatever else you want to make your own variety.

If you ever get a chance to get some, I suggest you do.

No, I didn't make the hummus. This was Sam's Member Mark brand. Not bad at all! I used to always get Pita Pal from Costco but they had a recall last year and never came back.

I've known about the BR hummus base for years. I've even been too the warehouse in Gonzales picking up beans and asked if I could buy some but they wouldn't sell to me.

It’s beyond good.
If I can get ahold of more I’ll let you know for sure.

I've had the Sam's. Pretty good and a good deal.
Never had the costco.

Yes it is indeed. I think a 32 oz container was like $4.58. Tahini is not cheap/more than that and it's a big ingredient in hummus.

Hope you can get it.
Pick up an extra and I’ll gladly buy it from you...

What kind of marinade did you use for the chicken? That whole spread looks fantastic!

N4sir · Mar 3, 2020

Getting ready to go cut the grass and clean up leaves. I'll post it up this afternoon.
