Instructions

STEP 1/6

Lightly oil the baking tray.

Assemble the Food Processor bowl onto the power unit.

Fit the Thin (2mm) Slicing Disc, attach the lid and ensure it is locked into place.

STEP 2/6

Slice onions on speed Max into the Food Processor bowl using the pusher.

Add spices, seasoning, lemon juice and olive oil into a large mixing bowl.

Stir to combine.

Add chicken into the mixing bowl.

Add the sliced onions into the bowl.

Toss together to coat in the spice mixture.

Cover with cling film.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

(Tip: You can reduce or skip the marinating time if needed.)

Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge.

Preheat the oven to 190°C.

Spread out the marinated chicken and onions in one layer on the prepared baking tray.

Roast at 190°C for 30 minutes until cooked.

Remove from the oven and set aside.

STEP 3/6

Add milk and oil into a jug.

Stir to combine.

Retrieve and clean the Food Processor bowl.

Fit the Knife Blade to the Food Processor bowl.

Add flour, xanthan gum, tapioca starch, baking powder, salt and Za’atar herb blend into the Food Processor bowl.

Attach the lid and ensure the pusher is in the feed tube.

Pulse until combined.

Start the machine on speed 1.

While the machine is running, gradually add the milk mixture into the Food Processor bowl.

Mix until combined and the mixture has a consistency of a wet and sticky dough.

STEP 4/6

Using a spatula, transfer the dough onto a well-floured work surface.

Sprinkle some extra flour on top of the dough and on your hands to allow you to bring it together into a round shape.

Using a dough scraper or knife, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.

Flour the work surface and the rolling pin as the dough will be very sticky.

Roll each piece of dough to a thickness of ¼ inch into a pitta shape.

Place a medium frying pan over a high heat.

Brush lightly with oil.

Cook each pitta in batches for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.

You should see air bubbles start to form, when this happens check the underside to see if it has turned golden brown, if so flip them over and cook on the other side.

Transfer the cooked pitas to a plate.

Slice the pittas lengthways with a bread knife whilst warm.

Transfer to a serving plate.

Cover with foil to keep warm until ready to serve.

STEP 5/6

Remove the Food Processor bowl from the machine.

Attach the Blender to the power unit and ensure it is locked into place.

Add lemon juice, egg yolk, garlic and salt into the Blender goblet.

Attach the lid and ensure it is securely closed.

Blend until smooth.

While the machine is running, gradually add oil into the Blender goblet.

Blend until the consistency has thickened and no oil remains in the drip feed.

STEP 6/6

To serve

Serve the chicken shawarma with the warm pittas, salad leaves and the garlic sauce.
