👨‍🍳 Method

For the Shawarma

  1. 1
    Soak the dried peppers 30 minutes in hot water, drain and remove the seeds.
    Bowl
  2. 2
    Grind the peppers in a food processor with the garlic, salt and black pepper.
    Food processor
    💡In a food processor, grind in short pulses and check between pulses: it's easy to go from coarse to paste. (Sesame for tahini, on the other hand, is ground continuously.)
  3. 3
    Add the oil in a thin stream, while Tahini, until a smooth paste.
    Food processor
    💡The thin stream is everything: fat that goes in too fast can't bind, and the sauce breaks. For mayonnaise and hollandaise, if this happens, start with a fresh yolk and slowly add the broken sauce to it; if the sauce is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water.
  4. 4
    Coat the slices of the lamb in a mixture of the olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, harissa, garlic, salt and black pepper, cover and marinate in the fridge at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
