About Shawarma as a meal:
Shawarma is a Middle Eastern meal that came into existence more as a necessity then a luxury during the period of many different wars fought in that region. People wanted something quick and easy to make and hence shawarma was invented. Today not only the Middle East but all over the world we see shawarmas lovers including Iron Man, captain america, thor and Hulk as seen in the movie Avengers.
How it is prepared
It is prepared by cutting the center part of pita bread. Afterwards, stuff the meat, sauce and other toppings. You can use different types of lean meat such as chicken and beef although beef shawarma is generally popular in Turkey and in other parts of the world. What sets shawarma Toronto from other sandwiches is the tahini sauce. Without the tahini sauce, shawarma is not a shawarma at all.
Fat content
A typical shawarma sandwich contains healthy fats such as monosaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat. The good thing about Middle Eastern dishes is that they are less in fatty ingredients such as lard and butter. Instead, they use olive oil and healthy fats to substitute health damaging oils.
