Shawarma Spice Blend
Mediterranean cooking is full of delicious spices and having Shawarma Spice Blend on hand is a wonderful way to flavor many different meats and chicken.
A Middle Eastern staple, shawarma seasoning is made with a unique combination of spices including cumin, turmeric, and paprika. It’s bold, bright, and unbelievably delicious. If you’ve never had it, you’re in for a serious treat!
It’s so easy to make: just combine cumin, turmeric, ground coriander, garlic powder, sweet Spanish paprika, ground cloves and cayenne.
You can always adjust the spices depending on your own preferences but this is a fairly traditional combination.
What’s wonderful is that it will last for 6 months, so you should always keep some in your pantry!
It’s amazing when used for Grilled Chicken Shawarma!
