Chicken Sharwarma Yeast!

Chicken Sharwarma Feast!

[FONT=&quot]Chicken is my wife’s flavor and I like to mix it up so for a Poultry Throwdown I went with a Shawarma feast. Started out with some chicken thighs that were on sale. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Shinned and deboned and cut them in half.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Bones were saved for making stock at a later time.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Next I made up a yogurt based shawarma marinade. Here are the ingredients:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]5 cloves of garlic[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]¼ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]¼ cup of apple cider vinegar[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]2 tbsp. of olive oil[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]2 tbsp. of ketchup[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1 teaspoon cloves[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1 teaspoon salt[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1 teaspoon paprika[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]½ teaspoon cumin[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]½ teaspoon caraway (ground fennel)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]½ teaspoon cardamon[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]½ teaspoon of oregano or thyme[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]½ teaspoon cinnamon[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]½ teaspoon nutmeg[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]½ teaspoon crushed peppercorn[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]¼ teaspoon ground ginger[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Everybody in the pool [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]and then thoroughly mixed. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The thighs now went into pool for a nice long rest.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Next I made up some Tzatziki. Here are the ingredients: (From Chef John on FoodWishes.com)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]2 cups Greek yogurt[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1 large cucumber, peeled, grated, tossed with 1/2 teaspoon of salt[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]4 cloves garlic, very finely minced[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]juice of half a lemon or vinegar to taste[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]3 tbsp. chopped fresh dill and/or mint[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]salt, pepper, to taste[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Next up was the Hummus ingredients.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]One 15-ounce can (425 grams) chickpeas, also called garbanzo beans[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1/4 cup (59 ml) fresh lemon juice, about 1 large lemon[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1/4 cup (59 ml) tahini (we used Krinos)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Half of a large garlic clove, minced[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt, depending on taste[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1/2 teaspoon ground cumin[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]2 to 3 tablespoons water[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Dash of ground paprika for serving[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Then some Persian Rice (From Bosco)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]2 cups of basmati rice[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]3 ½ cups of chicken stock/broth[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]2 tbsp of butter[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]½ tsp turmeric[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]¼ tsp cumin[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Kosher salt and pepper[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And finally a Mediterranean Tomato Salad. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Now I can cook the Shawarma. Broke out my good skewers. (Closest I can come to a Shawarma rotisserie) I used two so I could better control them on the grill.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Now I tightened up the stops to help keep in the marinade and juices [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]and placed them on the grill. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Flipped them after 5 to 6 minutes.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Here is everything plated up family style with some cucumber slices, baby pickles, pita bread and a Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin IPA.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]So Good! My wife loved everything and said it was the better that anything she’s ever ordered at a restaurant. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Thanks for looking.[/FONT]

You were probably just trying to get a rise out of us... but I'd be proud to "yeast" on some of that!

Looks fantastic.

That's next level right there. Is prepping everything time consuming?

Thank you g. Yes prep time was a little time consuming because I hadn't made or prepped anything before hand. Normally I would've made some of this the day before but we were busy on Saturday.
