I've been away from the forum for a number of weeks; haven't posted, haven't signed in. Nothing to do with the forum or the members, I simply needed a break from the internet (the forum got caught up in that break). I found I was spending far too many hours on the net reading news articles, watching YouTube, researching technology, etc. and I wasn't getting anything done during my day. I can't afford to waste hours of my day surfing the web is what it all boiled down to. It was affecting my life in a not so positive way. Things weren't getting done around the house, my hobbies were taking a backseat, etc. Anyway, that's all I'll say regarding my absence and for a first post back, what else is there but...
Chicken Shawarma and Mediterranean Flatbread
I poked through the freezer this morning, looking for something I haven't made in quite a while. Chicken thighs were calling me. And what better recipe to use for chicken thighs than Chicken Shawarma!
Marinating early this morning -
I decided that my usual Naan bread just had to go with tonite's dinner, but realized I didn't have plain yogurt. So I tried a Mediterranean Flatbread recipe for the first time, results were excellent.
The dough, after initial kneading -
After an hour of proofing in a warm location -
Forming into individual dough balls -
Six inch discs -
Chicken's on the Goldens' -
Flatbread's on the Blackstone -
Dinner is on the table -
Can't wait to dig in -
Rather than the usual Tzatziki, I made use of two different Ginger Sriracha sauces. Nothing about Shawarma around this house is traditional.
After dinner was done, the remainder of the Flatbreads were grilled. These should be great with breakfast tomorrow -
That's it. A somewhat non-traditional Chicken Shawarma, but a very good dinner.
As always, thanks for checking out this post.
