Shawarma Ingredients 

• 4 Meati Classic Cutlets, thawed 
• ¼ c curry powder (Charlie recommends Maharaja) 
• 2 Tbsp garlic, minced 
• 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice 
• 2 ½ tsp Kosher salt
• 2 tsp ground cumin

• ½ c olive oil 
• For Serving:

Shawarma Directions

1. Prepare the Tzatziki (see recipe below). 
2. Pull the Meati cutlet into bite-sized pieces. Set aside. 
3. To a medium mixing bowl combine the curry powder, salt, cumin, cinnamon, black pepper, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and garlic. Stir to combine and set aside.
