Notes
NOTES BY FOODEVA MARSAY
~ Chicken may also be used in this, adjust cook time, until chicken is tender.
~ Use more or less spices and sauces, according to your preference.
~ If you prefer, onions may also be added. I've added it as an optional choice, the recipe works good without any as well.
~ This filling is perfect for pita, as well as for flatbreads/wraps/roti/rolls
~ *This is a typical South African take-away style shwarma Filling, NOT to be confused with Gyros/Middle Eastern style 'Shwarma'*
