3 ingredient Mediterranean salad (sliced tomatoes, red onion and parsley
with a vinaigrette)
Three Three’s Pickles
Tahini sauce
Methods
Heat a large cast frypan over high heat. Using a pair of tongs, add the meat pieces, spreading them as much as you are able. Cook over high heat for a few minutes on each side or until browned.
Place meat in the bowl of a slow cooker along with spices and marinade ingredients. Top with water until the meat is just covered. Cook on low for 8 hours (or high for 4 hours).
Remove meat from liquid and pull apart with 2 forks place in a bowl with a little of the liquid to keep them moist.
Make my 3-ingredient Mediterranean salad with tomatoes, onion, and parsley topped with sumac. Make the tahini sauce. And prepare your Three Threes Pickles.
Assemble the shawarma sandwiches. Open up your pita pockets and load them up with the beef shawarma, salad, pickles and finish with a generous drizzle of tahini sauce. Serve immediately!
