Gyro, shawarma and doner kebab all have the same meaning. Those words all translate to "turning" or "rotating meat" and they refer to the rotisserie cooking technique. Which word is used depends which part of the Mediterranean or Middle East you're in. The traditional meat for kebabs is most often mutton or lamb, but regional recipes may include beef, goat, chicken, fish, or more rarely due to religious prohibitions, pork.
Steps to make Beef shawarma Kebabs:
- Soften the onions in a pan until soft (you can use oil or an oil alternative if you want, I use a small amount of water once the onions and pan are warm to stop them from burning)..
- Put onions and a bowl and allow to cool (putting them in a fridge speeds up the process)..
- Put all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix until fully combined..
- Lay out a bit of cling film. Take some of your mixture and shape it into a thick sausage shape. Place onto the cling film (on the left side). Press a skewer stick in the middle of the mixture and wrap the mixture around it..
- Wrap tightly in the cling film and lightly roll into a neater sausage shape. (How many you make depends on the size, I made 5 but they were quite big)..
- Put in the fridge to marinate for 1 to 24 hours (I did it overnight)..
- Take the kebabs out of the fridge and pre-heat your grill/oven/barbeque to it's highest temperature. Allow Kebabs to get to room temperature..
- Unwrap kebabs and place them on a sheet of tinfoil and cook for 15 minutes (or until they're cooked), turning every now and again..
- Take out and serve either on their own, with some food or accompanying a main meal..
- Making the shawarma powder yourself; Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well..
In most majority English-speaking countries, two of the most prevalent and familiar kebab dishes are shish kebab and doner kebab. Shawarma is probably one of the most recognizable Middle Eastern ethnic food names in the West, behind Falafel and Hummus. The name comes from the Turkish word çevirme which means "turning," and where you have some deeply marinated layers of beef, lamb or chicken stacked on a vertical spit and slowly turning against a soft grilling fire for hours. Inside the pita, foods like hummus, tahini , pickles, vegetables, and even french fries are added. Doner is the "mother," as it were, of Arabic shawarma, Mexican al pastor, and the popular Greek gyro.
