Instructions

  • Prep the ingredients per instructions above.
  • Prepare the bulgur: Bring water to a boil. Place the bulgur in a bowl, pour boiling water over it, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes until tender. Fluff with a fork and let cool.
  • Make the tabbouleh: Add the parsley, mint, tomato, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to the cooled bulgur. Toss well. Refrigerate or set aside to let the flavors meld.
  • Make the shawarma marinade: In a bowl, mix garlic, coriander, cumin, cardamom, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil. Add chicken and toss to coat. Set aside.
  • Prepare the garlic sauce: Blend garlic, oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice until smooth and fluffy. Set aside. (Optional: For less pungent garlic, boil it in water for 5 minutes, then drain.)
  • Grill the chicken: Heat a grill over medium heat. Grill the marinated chicken on both sides until grill-marked and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
  • Assemble the wrap: Portion the lettuce, cucumber, tomato, red onion, chicken and pickles onto the wrap. Drizzle with garlic sauce. Fold in one end and roll up.
  • Prepare the tea: Bring the water to a boil. Remove from heat, add the chamomile tea bags, and steep for 5 minutes.
  • Serve the shawarma wrap with tabbouleh, chamomile tea, and dates.
