Method

  1. Heat the grill to medium. Spread the onions and peppers over a large baking tray/sheet, drizzle with oil, then toss to coat.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken chunks and baharat spice mix with a drizzle of oil and some salt and black pepper. Thread the chunks onto 4 skewers. Put the skewers on top of the vegetables, then grill for 10-12 minutes, turning the skewers frequently, until the chicken is cooked through (the juices will run clear when pierced with a skewer) and the vegetables have lightly charred.
  3. Meanwhile, grate half the garlic into a small bowl, then mix with the yogurt and lemon juice. Season to taste. Rub one side of each pitta/flatbread with the remainder of the garlic clove, then put under the grill to warm through for a minute or so.

Not sure how to get to shawrama paste ?

Thanks for your comment. The food team recommend using baharat spice mix (from large supermarkets), mixed with some oil to create a marinade (see step 2). We hope you give it a go!
