Have a hankering for Shwarma but limited on time? Pull out your Instant Pot and you will have an amazing dinner in less time than it would take to order and pick up carry out.
We are traveling to Lebanon this month as we Eat the World.........
The only problem is that I cook it and eat it a lot. This means that I have shared all of my recipes with you over the years. I needed to find a new recipe to share with you today.
While this dish is not new to our household the cooking method is. I found this recipe on the Instant Pot website. It was extremely easy. I used store bought hummus as a bed for the Shwarma but hummus is also an easy recipe to put together. You might want to try this Beef Shwarma or Chicken Shwarma over my Beet Hummus or Artichoke Hummus.
You could also forego the hummus completely and serve it with Lebanese Rice. I chose to serve it with a Lebanese Salad and Homemade Pita. I opened up a bottle of Aglianico to pair with the meal and it was wonderful. You can read about that pairing in this month's Italian Food Wine and Travel post.
Check out all the wonderful Lebanese dishes prepared by fellow Eat the World members and share with #eattheworld. Find out how to join Eat the World here and have fun exploring a country a month in the kitchen with us!
