Hey guys! I had planned to write up a workout post for today, but that topic instantly got put on the backburner right after my lunch on Wednesday: Chicken Shawarma Tartine. When I Whatsapped my sister about it, her reply was “All your meals sound so fancy”. I’ll let you in on a secret- a majority of my meals are extremely basic, I’m just good with my words ;)! I’m not a trained chef nor do I want to spend hours in the kitchen regularly. I just really enjoy good food & so need to find a way to make it as efficiently as possibly.
Sure you can call this a ‘Chicken & Hummus Open-Faced Sandwich’, but how much more appetizing does a Chicken Shawarma Tartine sound…I thought so! If we exclude marinating time, this lunch literally comes together in less than 10 minutes…i.e. the maximum amount of time anyone wants to be spending on lunch on a weekday. And for my vegan friends- simply replace the chicken with tofu :).
[yumprint-recipe id=’5′]Total party in my mouth! Oh and I’ll let you in on one more secret: those 3 pepper rings on the side were definitely accompanied by a mah-oosive bowl of grilled mushrooms & zucchini…they just weren’t pretty enough to photograph ;)!
What was the best thing you ate for lunch last week?
Oh heck yeah – “chicken shawarma tartine” sounds so so much better!! 🙂
I just googled Sumac Powder – had never heard of it before – thanks Khushboo! I gotta find it – it’s “tart” apparently?
Hmmm…best thing I ate for lunch last week …hmmm…I wasn’tmuch of a lunch person last week …so, does a slice of Dairy Free, no bake, cashew chocolate cheesecake count?
Have a wonderful week!
Mmmm cheesecake always counts- can’t get over how heavenly that cheesecake sounds 🙂
Lol, it does sound more appetising that way. I feel like a chicken shawarma now (the real greasy deal) lol.
Mmm they taste even better after a few drinks 🙂
You got me!
I’m weak in the KNEES for shawarma.
It’s too relish :)!
Oh the naming game… I swear that figuring out what to CALL a recipe is sometimes more complicated than coming up with the actual recipe. And it’s sad but I honestly can’t remember what I had for lunch last week. Either I’m getting old or it wasn’t anything special. A sandwich like this, though, I would -definitely- remember.
Haha I feel you- I sometimes have trouble forgetting what I did a few days ago ;)!
that does just sound fancy!It’s crazy what a change in title will do 😉
Truly!
This looks delicious!! Love chicken shawarma.
Thanks, Rachel 🙂
Ooooh that looks soo good. I think I want to do this with your oat-flatbread recipe!! All Khushboo style!!
I like the way your mind works 🙂
Lol you should work for a restaurant or food company naming their dishes/products! Is that a thing? I heard that there is a person at OPI whose job is to name their nail polishes, so I feel like there must be similar jobs in the food world.
Oh geez I don’t even remember what I ate last week! Wait I think I had leftover corn risotto one day, and that was pretty delicious.
Haha no way- that would be such a fun job! And no wonder OPI polishes always have catchy names!
I’m with you: simple and easy meals. I’m no chef; more of an at home cook, if you will and I like it that way.
You fancy word charmer, you.
Holla to the home cooks 😉
Lol you fancy!! That does look/ sound incredible. And next time show those grilled mushrooms bc they’re pretty much my favorite thing ever. best thing i ate for lunch last week was green curry w/ tofu. super yummy!
Mmmm I LOVE green curry…and need to make it soon as it’s been far too long!
Hahaha –> “party in my mouth”
I’m sold.
Major partay ;)!
I could totally do this with some veggie meat or soy protein. I love Mediterranean food!
Definitely give this a shot- you’d love it 🙂
