What is a Shawarma?

Shawarma is made by placing strips of meat or marinated chicken on a skewer. Animal fat and an onion or tomato are placed at the top of the stack to provide flavoring.

The meat is then roasted slowly on all sides as the skewer rotates in front of or over a flame for a period of several hours. Traditionally a wood fire is used, but recently a gas flame is more common.

While many specialty restaurants might offer two or more, usually of different meats some establishments have one skewer.

Different sort of meat can be used for it, The principle is that the meat will be placed on a skewer, and can be grilled even for the whole day. Chunks of meat fat make sure that the meat stays fat and juicy.
