   • If you have whole spices and a bit of extra time, consider dry roasting the cumin and coriander seeds in a frying pan over medium heat for several minutes until they become fragrant.
   • Allow the roasted spices to cool, then grind them into a fine powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
   • In a mixing bowl, combine all the ground spices thoroughly to create your homemade Shoarma Spice Mix.
   • Transfer the spice mix into a small jar for storage.

2. Create the Shoarma Dish:

   • For a delicious shoarma dish serving approximately 4 people, you’ll need around 1 pound of pork, lamb, or chicken, cut into strips.
   • In a bowl, toss the meat strips with 1 tablespoon of oil, a splash of lemon juice, and 1 or 2 teaspoons of your homemade spice mix.
   • Season the meat with salt to taste, ensuring the flavors are well-balanced.
   • For an extra kick of flavor, consider adding chopped onions, crushed garlic, chopped chili peppers, and sweet peppers to the meat mixture. Allow the meat to marinate for a few hours or overnight to enhance the flavors.

3. Cooking:

   • Once marinated, either fry or grill the seasoned meat until it’s cooked to perfection. The aromatic spices will infuse the meat with irresistible flavor, creating a tantalizing aroma that will whet your appetite.

4. Serving Suggestions:

   • Serve your freshly cooked shoarma in a warm wrap or pita bread, accompanied by your favorite sauce. Whether it’s classic mayonnaise, creamy Tzatziki, or a homemade Yoghurt Chutney with finely chopped cucumber, the choice is yours.
   • This versatile spice mix isn’t just limited to wraps—use it to elevate your barbecues, marinades, and other culinary creations.

Tips:

• Experiment with the spice quantities to tailor the flavor to your liking.
• Store the remaining spice mix in an airtight container away from heat and sunlight for prolonged freshness.
• Don’t forget to mention the absence of salt in the spice mix, especially if you’re sharing it as a thoughtful gift.
• Get creative with your shoarma fillings by incorporating additional ingredients like fresh herbs, pickled vegetables, or tangy sauces.

Unlock the vibrant flavors of shoarma with this homemade spice mix, and embark on a culinary journey that will transport you to the bustling streets of Holland and the enchanting lands of the Middle East. Enjoy the savory goodness with every bite! 🍴✨
