This recipe was requested by Aminta … Shawerma is a very popular sandwich across the middle east … it is considered a fast food .. basically its meat or chicken marinated overnight then set on a stand and roasted until done …. there is two types of shawerma .. chicken and meat … each is marinated differently .. the sandwiches for each type is different too .. a chicken shawerma sandwich would be a wrap that has fried potatoes, cucumber pickles, garlic sauce, and of course the chicken shawerma …. and meat shawerma sandwich would have tomatoes, red onion, parsley, tahini sauce, and the meat shawerma …The traditional shawerma is difficult to make at home because of the equipments used in making it … but i think what you put in the sandwich effects the whole taste …. in my version of the recipe … i roast the tomatoes and onions to give it more flavor and a little charred taste .. as the meat is just stir fried … so to make my version of a shawerma sandwich you will need:
Serves: 4 – 5
For marinate:
- 1/2 kg beef or lamb steak … cut into stripes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup red viniger
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 ts cinnamon
- 1 ts allspice
- 1/4 ts nutmeg
- 1/4 ts cloves
- salt and pepper
For the Sandwich:
- 1 cup finely chopped parsley
- 3 medium red onions .. cut into wedges
- 3 to 4 medium tomatoes … they must be firm and chopped into wedges
- Tahini sauce
- 1 ts sumac
- 4 tb olive oil
- salt and pepper
- pita bread or any other flat bread you prefer
Start by marinating the meat … in a mini – food processor chop the onions and garlic really fine … if you dont have a mini-food processor .. then mince the garlic and grate the onions …
In a bowl .. mix the onion, garlic, red vinegar, and olive oil …
To the mixture add the meat and the spices (cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, black pepper, and salt) …
Mix everything well together and let it marinate in the refrigerator overnight …
Now for the sandwich:
Place the tomatoes in a bowl … to it add salt, pepper and around 2 tb olive oil …
Mix everything and make sure its all coated in oil … then place it on a baking sheet (skin side down) and roast at 240°C for 30 to 40 mins … until you see few black edges … not alot of black or it will burn 
Do the same to the onions … place it in a bowl and add salt, pepper and 2 tb olive oil …
Mix everything well together and roast them at 240°C for 10 to 15 mins … dont over roast them … just until slightly golden
After the onions are roasted let it cool down a little … then place it in a bowl and add the sumac … mix it well …
For the meat you have two choices … either place it on a baking sheet in the oven until its done .. or pan or stir fry it like I did … you dont need to add anything to it .. just place the meat along with the marinade on a wok and stir fry it until the meat is done …
Now you got everything ready to make the sandwich … the meat, tomatoes, onions, parsley and tahini sauce …
Making the Sandwich:
Open a pita bread … add a little or everything … so add the meat, tomatoes, onions, parsley … and then drizzle a little tahini sauce on top … then wrap the sandwich …
And there you got Shawerma sandwich .. My Way 
..
Enjoy …
