- To make the traditional Middle Eastern shawarma sandwich, marinated pcs of meat are pressed, stacked on a vertical rotisserie and cooked slowly. The juicy cooked meat is then shaved off and made into a sandwich with yogurt, tomatoes and lettuce. I improvised by stacking my chicken vertically on a skewer and simply placing it directly on the grill.
- Yield is 6 servings.
