Excellent recipe, including the sauce and relish!
IMO most middle eastern cooking works better without too much raw garlic, so I use it in the marinade and leave it out of the tahini sauce.
Presumably one can't Hack this recipe because it is copyrighted. Why not make this more obvious?
nice recipe! i hope there would be more shawarma recipes here.
