ОСТРАЯ vs ОСТРЕЕ vs САМАЯ ОСТРАЯ ШАУРМА

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of making three different types of shawarma, each with varying levels of spiciness. The first shawarma will use one chili pepper, the second will incorporate two hotter peppers, and the third will feature three of the hottest peppers in the world, specifically the Carolina Reaper. This guide will help you explore the art of preparing spicy shawarma and allow you to adjust the heat level to your preference.

Step 1: Gather Ingredients

Before starting, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients for each shawarma.

• For the first shawarma (mild)

  • 1 chili pepper
  • Shawarma meat (chicken, beef, or lamb)
  • Pita bread or flatbread
  • Fresh vegetables (lettuce, tomato, onion)
  • Sauce (yogurt or tahini)

• For the second shawarma (medium)

  • 2 hotter chili peppers (e.g., serrano or jalapeño)
  • Same ingredients as the first shawarma

• For the third shawarma (very hot)

  • 3 Carolina Reaper peppers
  • Same ingredients as the first shawarma

Step 2: Prepare the Peppers

• Wash the peppers thoroughly to remove any dirt or contaminants.
• Chop the mild chili pepper for the first shawarma into small pieces.
• For the medium and hot shawarmas, ensure to wear gloves while handling the hotter peppers to avoid skin irritation.
• Chop the hotter peppers finely. If you prefer less heat, you can remove the seeds before chopping.

Step 3: Marinate the Meat

• In a bowl, combine your choice of meat with the chopped peppers from the respective step.
• Add spices to taste (cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper).
• Let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4: Cook the Meat

• Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
• Cook the marinated meat until it is fully cooked through, usually about 5-7 minutes depending on the thickness.
• Ensure the meat has a nice char for added flavor.

Step 5: Assemble the Shawarma

• Take your pita or flatbread and place a generous amount of cooked meat in the center.
• Add fresh vegetables on top: lettuce, tomato, and onion.
• Drizzle your choice of sauce over the top for added flavor.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

• Roll the pita or flatbread tightly around the filling.
• Cut the shawarma in half for easier handling.
• Serve immediately while warm.

Conclusion

You have now prepared three delicious shawarmas with varying spice levels. Experiment with the amount of peppers to find your perfect balance of heat. Enjoy this flavorful dish as a meal or a snack, and don't hesitate to share your creations with friends or family. Happy cooking!
