Method
- Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth to a boil.
- Add the rinsed rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the rice absorbs the liquid.
- While the rice cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, shawarma spice blend, salt, and black pepper. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the sliced chicken or beef to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the meat is browned and cooked through.
- Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the shawarma meat.
- Gently mix until well combined, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve warm.
Notes
For an extra flavor boost, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the rice just before serving.
