Shawarma!

That's right! It is in the oven as we speak!

I sure hope it tastes good.

You know that link I posted, linking to the recipe?Well here is what it looks like as I made it!

No Parsley or Red Wine Vinegar yet.... Had to run back to the store to get those!

Oh! there they are! All the ingredients for the marinade!

Yogurt, garlic, onion, vinegar, parsley, oregano, slat, cumin, pepper, chili pepper, and sage.

And now it is all mixed together, don't it look great?

Chicken cut into strips about 1/8th inch thick! That took a long time. Now they are in the marinade.

17 Hours Later

I didn't have to wait that long, it says to marinate 12-24 hours. The middle seemed like a good number!

(Not to mention it was time to make dinner....)

Had to run to the store (again) to get this very special aluminum foil pan... yeah not that special, but I did have fun punching holes in the bottom of it!

It is placed on a pan with a cooling rack that fits on top so the Shawarma doesn't boil in it's juice.

Chicken layer is about 1inch thick. About.

Added a layer of spinach

Then another layer of chicken and a layer of baked red peppers. MMMMM.

And yet another layer of Chicken, then SMOOOOOSH it down! That is fun!

Now let it cook for 45 minutes. 

Meanwhile.....

Make the Tzatziki sauce, which is pretty straight forward, and tastes pretty good. 

Remember to save time to chill for an hour!

The Story of the Little Red Hen

She grew the wheat, ground the wheat, made the bread, cooked the bread and ate the bread all by herself.

I decided to be a little more Christ-like and share with everyone the fruits of my toiling. 

But I have to confess... I did not grow the wheat and my wheat grinder did the dirty work.

I was surprised at how easy the Chapatis was to make.

Wheat Flour, Salt, Water. 

No water in this picture though.

Added the water and kneaded for 10 minutes.

Amazing how quickly times passes when watching Sleeping Beauty!

Then I had to let it sit for 20 minutes, with a damp cloth over it of course, wouldn't want it drying out!

HOLD IT!

Central City Needs ME!

Actually just the Shawarma needs me. 

45 minutes are up, so I pulled out the pan with the Shawarma in it and cut the corners, folding them over so that the sides can brown.

And back to the Chapatis.

I cut it into 8 pieces (Just like the instructions said, aren't I a good little girl?)

This is one piece, rolled into a ball.

Then I rolled it out. 

The first one I tried... I didn't exactly roll it into a ball, yeah... Triangular/Square shaped Chapatis was the result.

"Frying pans, Who knew!?"

It's done!

Add all three together, not to much... they don't stay together if there is too much!

MMMMMMMMMMM!

Here's the recipe again!

Imagine making it on a spit! COOL!
