Zubereitungsmethode

In a bowl, combine the yogurt, tomato paste, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Cut the chicken into thin strips or slices and add to the marinade. Toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Heat the vegetable ghee in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. If the chicken starts to stick, add a splash of water.

While the chicken cooks, prepare the tahini sauce: in a small bowl, whisk together the tahini with a little water, lemon juice, and salt until smooth and pourable.

Warm the bread sticks or pita bread in a dry pan or oven until soft.

To serve, spread a little tahini sauce on the bread, top with the cooked shawarma chicken, and optionally add pickles, tomatoes, or lettuce. Roll tightly and enjoy.

Drizzle extra tahini sauce on top if desired.
