Shawarma is a famous Middle Eastern dish that can be served as a wrap, sandwich or platter. It is made with thinly sliced meat (usually either beef, chicken or lamb) that has been marinated and cooked slowly on a rotating vertical spit for hours. The meat is then served with a variety of accompaniments such as pickles, hummus and tahini sauce.
