Sumac Chicken Shawarma with Tahini Sauce (Lebanese Street Sandwich)
Let me take you to the lively streets of Lebanon with this chicken shawarma as fragrant as it is authentic. The secret to this recipe lies in the yogurt and sumac marinade, a spice with a lemony flavor that awakens the taste buds and makes the meat incredibly tender. Wrapped in soft pita bread, accompanied by crunchy vegetables and a creamy tahini sauce, every bite is an explosion of freshness and Mediterranean flavors. You can smell those aromas of garlic, cinnamon, and lemon that whisk your senses away to the souks of Beirut. It's the kind of street sandwich that feeds the whole family and is enjoyed without moderation, fingers slightly golden from the sauce. Make it, and you'll tell me all about it!
