Homemade shawarma in pita bread with sausage. Homemade shawarma with sausage. What it is

Miscellaneous

When I see this snack on the street - someone is eating on the go, or waiting for it to be cooked - my lips curl into a squeamish grimace. I recall an unappetizing anecdote. Therefore, I will not spoil my appetite, but I will say - I began to make this joke myself. Called ala shawarma.

It is clear that my beauty does not dare to argue with the original. But I will say that it is no less delicious. But the main thing is safe. I know that I myself cut everything with clean hands, put what I wanted. Sharing one of my recipes on this topic!

Cooking time: if with boiling eggs, then half an hour will be spent on cooking

Complexity: you can say - ordinary, but what is difficult - chop everything, and then wrap it in the thinnest pita bread

Ingredients

    parsley - to taste

    ketchup - to taste


Progress


Traditionally, since eggs are involved, boil it hard-boiled. Cool, peel and shred finely.

And let's go like on a conveyor - further. Let's cut a cucumber. How? Thin stripes. Our tender snack should come out.

Filling for stuffing? Yeah why not. I came up with something more useful - I chopped the parsley first. Then came the turn of the leek. Well, do not cut the usual one, it will be bitter. A thin circle - that's it. And combine the last three ingredients together. This is the stuffing of the future.

I had a little sausage, as always - the leftovers are sweet. We adjust with a thin straw. The cheese was hard and tasty. Grate on a grater - it will add such piquancy to our composition!

Well, cabbage. She was the last one. I would have put a leaf of lettuce here, but it was not. So I crumbled a thinly ordinary one.


It was the first layer on pita bread smeared with ketchup. Put a leek on it, sour cream with herbs and cover with cheese on top.

Shawarma, or as it is also called, shawarma, is a delicious, satisfying and easy-to-prepare snack, originally from the east.

Vegetables and sausage are chopped into thin strips. A sheet of pita bread, where the filling will be located, is smeared with white sauce, sausage and vegetables are laid out. Topped with tomato sauce and wrapped in an envelope, roll or in the form of a bag. Then the shawarma is fried in a dry frying pan until lightly browned so that the filling warms up well.

Love delicious food? Then you have to fall in love and work in the kitchen! But with good practice, you can indulge yourself in the goodies of the original form and content. How about a nice snack for tea? It will be a delicious shawarma with sausage. You didn’t think that the secret of making such a product was owned exclusively by sellers in street stalls?! At home, you can really create an original dish that is not a sin to meet guests and surprise your family!

What it is?

A rare lover of a tasty meal thinks that the name of a dish is not given just like that, but the meaning of the term can tell a lot. For example, what is shawarma, or shawarma? In some countries it is also called doner kebab. This is a Middle Eastern dish, and of Arab origin. I make this delicacy from pita bread or pita, stuffing it with minced meat with spices and fresh vegetable salad. Since the dish is closer to Eastern countries, there is no pork in the original recipe, but in non-Muslim countries such an addition is possible. You can and should use shawarma without appliances. This and the speed of preparation make shawarma one of the most sought-after fast food dishes.

Appetizing recipe

In the process of preparing shawarma, there is a lot of entertainment that causes profuse salivation. They choose good meat - turkey, lamb, beef, and sometimes chicken. The meat is fried on a special vertical grill, rotating around its axis. When ready, the pieces of meat are cut with a long knife, after which they are crushed and added to the filling.

Next, shawarma is flavored with white garlic or red tomato sauce. The final touch is a vegetable salad. The shawarma is wrapped and the top is dipped into the sauce. The taste is amazing and it takes about five minutes to prepare.

At home, of course, this technology cannot be applied, but with sausage it seems quite simple.

Putting it into practice

By the way, the variation with the recipe will be no worse than the original, so get down to work with enthusiasm. The recipe for homemade shawarma with sausage allows the addition of both fresh and canned vegetables and sauces to taste. So, you will need: two pita bread, about 100 grams of half-smoked sausage, 50 g of cheese, 1 fresh tomato, several sheets of Chinese cabbage or lettuce, 2 tablespoons of corn, a couple of onions, herbs to taste, as well as spices and mayonnaise. For frying, you will also need vegetable oil.

Let's start the process: cut sausage, onion and tomato into slices, add corn, fry everything in vegetable oil. In the meantime, you need to chop Chinese cabbage or tear leaf lettuce.

Puzzle stage

Shawarma with does not have to have a perfect shape, but still, a purchased analogue is not least attracted by this factor. How to properly wrap shawarma? You need to start by putting lettuce and grated cheese on one sixth of the pita bread. Add some mayonnaise. The sausage filling is laid out on top. Now you can turn around, but you should not rush. Start turning from right to left. The bottom edge should overlap to the top. Wrap pita until the end in a tube. The result is an ideal shawarma with a rectangular sausage. This is the simplest recipe that can be slightly improved with homemade garlic sauce and a bouquet of original spices.

When Form Doesn't Matter

If all the ingredients are on hand, but you still haven’t learned how to wrap even, then you should not be upset. The taste will not be worse if your sausage shawarma becomes a very appetizing sandwich or roll. Remember that the thinner the pita bread, the juicier the shawarma. The addition of Bulgarian red pepper will add originality to the taste. The dish will be juicier if you put hard cheese on pita bread, but a certain amount of boiled eggs and potatoes will add satiety.

All ingredients must be cleaned and cooked. Cut the sausage. Bulgarian pepper should be cut into half rings, and the pita bread should be smeared with sauce. Peppers and potatoes are laid in the first layer. Next - cheese and sauce again. Now the main filling and shawarma with sausage is rolled up. Send the result of your labors to the oven and keep there for about 5 minutes. As soon as the wonderful aroma began to spread, it's time to extract the shawarma and taste it.

If you make shawarma in the form of a sandwich, which, by the way, is much more convenient, if you want to take a snack to work or university, then wrap the filling in pita bread in an envelope, and then put it in a frying pan. Readiness can be determined by the appearance of a golden crust. A glass of orange juice will complement such an original snack.

sauce time

Of course, homemade shawarma with sausage is delicious even when using mayonnaise or ketchup, but homemade sauce will give you much more vivid impressions. So take 10 minutes to season your shawarma with homemade sauce. You won't regret this wasted time!

Start by pickling the onion. To do this, sprinkle it with salt and leave for a while so that the onion gives juice. After that, chop the onion into crumbs and mix with finely chopped garlic. In a separate bowl, mix natural yogurt with a drop of olive or vegetable oil. You can add egg yolk and a little grated cheese here. Now combine garlic-onion mixture and yogurt. Knead the sauce until it is as smooth as possible. So the delicious garlic sauce is ready, which will give the shawarma originality.

Making a tomato analogue is even easier. You can use natural tomatoes for this, which you need to scald with boiling water and remove the skin. The fruits must be stewed with chopped pickled onions, and then added to a mixture of flour or potato starch to make the sauce thick.

When serving, spread hot shawarma on lettuce leaves. Garnish the top with pickled onions or sauce immediately. You can add basil leaves to enhance the flavor. You need to eat the dish hot to feel all the charm and juiciness of the dish. By the way, shawarma with sausage can even be called a semi-dietary dish, since there are a lot of vegetables and no fatty meat. The option with homemade sauce will have little effect on the figure, which cannot be said about shawarma with mayonnaise or ketchup. Bon appetit!

Shawarma is one of the most popular oriental dishes in our country. Many treat the stuffing of meat and vegetable products wrapped in pita bread with sauce with disdain or wariness. The fault is not too conscientious merchants, who often make this snack from low-quality products. However, in fact, shawarma is a tasty and even healthy dish, if, of course, it is cooked correctly. Homemade shawarma with sausage is more tender and less high-calorie than the traditional one. At the same time, it is a tasty and satisfying dish that can quickly satisfy your hunger. After all, you can cook it very quickly, especially if you use ready-made pita bread for this.

Cooking features

Even a child can cook shawarma with sausage. It would seem that it could be easier: cut the meat product and vegetables, add ketchup and wrap it all in pita bread. However, even culinary experiments that are simple at first glance are not always crowned with success if you do not know a few subtleties.

  • The prejudice against shawarma arose due to the fact that some "cooks" put poor quality products in it. Do not repeat their mistakes: using high quality sausage, you can be sure that the filling will be delicious. The same goes for other foods that you put in shawarma, including sauces.
  • Sauce is an important component of the sausage shawarma recipe. The original shawarma sauces are prepared according to very complex recipes, but it is permissible to replace them with available sour cream, mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, adding nutmeg, sesame, anise to taste. Mayonnaise-based garlic sauce is especially popular.
  • Shawarma will turn out tastier if you use two sauces: grease the sheet with white, pour over the filling with red.
  • You can wrap the filling in pita bread in different ways, the main thing is that it does not fall out of it. Most often, the filling is laid out in a rectangle at a distance of 10 cm from the edge, then the filling is covered with a free edge, the bottom edge is tucked, then the pita bread is rolled into a roll. In this case, the pita bread will dry out on one side, and on the other side it will remain soft and tender, like a pancake, as it will be soaked in sauce.
  • Shawarma is fried first from the side where the seam is, then from the opposite side, while pressing down the "bags" with the lid of the pan. The pan itself should be dry, that is, it should not have oil on it.
  • All products in the filling should be ready to eat, because during frying it can only be warmed up.
  • Boiled vegetables for shawarma are not accepted.

Shawarma can be cooked in a store-bought Armenian lavash or in a thin flatbread made from homemade dough. Do not be afraid of the second option: shawarma dough is made quickly and easily.

Shawarma dough recipe

  • hot water - 0.3 l;
  • vegetable oil - 50 ml;
  • salt - 10 g;
  • wheat flour - 0.4–0.45 kg.

Cooking method:

  • Sift the flour, first taking 2 cups, push it to the side, making a recess in the center.
  • Mix boiling water with salt and oil.
  • Pour water with salt and oil into flour in a thin stream, constantly stirring it, you can even use a mixer.
  • If necessary, add more sifted flour, knead with your hands a tight dough.
  • Cover the dough with cling film and leave at room temperature for half an hour.
  • Knead the dough again, divide into 8 parts and roll each into a layer 1–1.5 mm thick. To prevent the dough from sticking to the table and rolling pin, sprinkle it with flour.

You need to bake the dough in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for literally 2-3 minutes, until it bubbles and begins to brown. It is not necessary to roll out the layers in advance. While the next layer is baking, the previous one should be moistened under running water and covered with a damp cloth, otherwise the shawarma base will be too dry and brittle. The dough can be fried in a pan. In this case, it is fried for about 15 seconds on each side, covered with a damp cloth. It is not necessary to additionally moisten the layer with water, since when cooking in a pan, the dough does not dry out as much as when baking in the oven.

  • Roll out one part of the dough into a rectangular layer, place on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove the dough from the oven, moisten with water, put a damp cloth on it.
  • Roll out the second layer and do with it the same way as with the first. In the same way, make 6 more layers.
  • Trim the edges with a knife or kitchen scissors to keep them even.
  • Cut the sausage into strips and fry in a small amount of oil. Let it drain by laying the sausage on a paper towel.
  • Cut the cucumbers into thin strips, finely chop the cabbage, cut the tomatoes into circles.
  • Chop the greens and mix it with Chinese cabbage.
  • Coarsely grate the cheese.
  • Spread a sheet of pita bread on the table. If space allows, it's best to lay out all the sheets to distribute the filling evenly. If this is not possible, you will have to act by eye.
  • Stepping back 10 cm from the left edge, pour a little pita bread with mayonnaise. Lay out the sausage.
  • Put tomatoes on top, cucumbers on them, then Chinese cabbage.
  • Lay out the “Korean” carrots in the next layer and sprinkle it with cheese.
