Authentic Shawarma Marinade
8 garlic cloves, whole
1 shallot, quartered
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon sumac
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon cardamom
2 ½ teaspoons salt
Blend it all together. I use an immersion blender. Marinade your meat for 24 hours then cook it however you wish.
This is awesome on a lamb roast. Slow roast it for 3 hrs on a rack with water in the tray to keep it moist (or 10 hrs in the slow cooker on low). It will be fall apart tender.
