Shawarma is a snack that originated from Middle East. It is rich in protein, vitamins A, B6 and C, Thiamin, Niacin, Folate, Mineral calcium, Magnesium and Sodium. These nutritional composition of Shawarma is attributed to its rich vegetable content, animal product and minimal flour portion. And, from eating Shawarma for few years, I figured that every fan of shawarma should know how to make beef shawarma at home in few simple steps and with the most available equipment, saucepan if there is no grill.
This recipe is different from your usual shawarma and you should learn it.
