Shawarma with Radish and Arugula Recipe
My husband and I always liked to cook Shawarma at home, but we always made it with cabbage, and grilled chicken breast. All Shawarma recipes are here on the site, too, with cabbage and most of the white chicken meat. I want to offer you a recipe without cabbage, but with radish and arugula. And from dark chicken meat, which is prepared quite unusual for Shawarma. As a result, the Shawarma according to this recipe is very juicy and delicious! Now we only cook like this at home! Try it out!
