I found this packet of Shawarma seasoning in our local Asian grocery store and then went in search of a recipe. I found this on the blog The Spice House. It's perfect for when you've had your fill of hamburgers, hot dogs and barbecued chicken but still want to grill. It makes a lovely light dinner when it's too hot to cook.
For the Chicken
2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 tsp. Shawarma seasoning
3 to 4 tbs. plain yogurt
juice of 1 lemon
For the Garlic Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup plain yogurt (I used Greek yogurt)
juice of half a lemon
3 to 4 cloves minced garlic
Instructions:
Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with the Shawarma seasoning. Place in a plastic zip lock bag or a bowl. Add lemon juice and yogurt. "Squish" the chicken in the bag to distribute the marinade. Marinate in the fridge for two to three hours.
While the chicken marinates, mix the garlic sauce. Add all the sauce ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Refrigerate.
Grill the chicken over direct high heat until slightly charred and cooked through. Chop chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Warm pitas. Fill with chicken and shredded lettuce and tomato and drizzle with garlic sauce.
It's Here--A Fatal Footnote--Book #2 in the Open Book Series
Writer-in-residence Penelope Parish will need to use every trick in
her quaint British bookshop to unravel a murderous plot that threatens
to ruin a ducal wedding.
The wedding of the Duke and Duchess
of Upper Chumley-on Stoke has all the makings of a fairy tale, complete
with a glowing bride and horse-drawn carriage. But it wouldn't be much
of a story without a villain, and as American Gothic novelist Penelope
Parish is coming to learn, happy-ever-afters are as fraught in this
charming British town as they are in her books.
When the Duke's
former girlfriend is found murdered at the reception it's up to Penelope
and her newfound family at the Open Book bookshop to catch the killer
before they strike again.
Murder in the Margins has everything: England * Charming town * Book shop * Writer-in-residence * Royalty * Cute detective * Murder!
The plot thickens for American gothic writer Penelope Parish when a murder near her quaint British bookshop reveals a novel's worth of killer characters.
