nice recipe! i hope there would be more shawarma recipes here.
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?
