Advice
Roast hot and finish under the broiler; then quick-sear the sliced meatβthis two-stage method gives shawarmaβs signature char and tenderness. π₯
Why it works π‘
Yogurt + lemon tenderize; fat-soluble spices bloom in oil; a high-heat roast sets surface Maillard, and a final pan sear crisps thin slices without drying.
Twist πΆοΈ
Swap thighs for boneless turkey or use a half-lamb, half-beef mix (same marinade, add Β½ tsp baking soda) and griddle as crumbles for a street-cart vibe.
