Personal Notes:
Shawarma is thinly sliced cuts of meat such as chicken, beef or lamb rolled into pita bread with hummus and vegetables. In restaurants, this meat is placed on large, rotating cones that cook the meat slowly. At home, you can cook the meat in the oven and roll it in the pita bread with the hummus and vegetables. It's delicious.
