Shawarma Spice Blend from New York Shuk

Street Food-Inspired Seasoning

Inspired by the bold flavors of shawarma—meat cooked on a rotating spit—this spice mix invokes the enticing aromas of the classic Middle Eastern street food. A piquant blend of coriander seeds, cumin, paprika, turmeric, garlic and salt, New York Shuk's Shawarma seasoning serves as a shortcut to elevating roasted vegetables, grilled meat and more.

How to use

This shawarma blend makes an excellent dry-rub and we love combining it with yogurt to make a marinade for chicken, lamb or seafood (see how New York Shuk uses it in their recipe for easy chicken shawarma), but it's not only for meat. Try coating tofu or hearty vegetables, like eggplant or cauliflower in a shawarma-spiked marinade before cooking. New York Shuk's Shawarma spice blend also makes a zesty base for stews and a simple sprinkle brightens up hummus and other dips.
