SHAWARMA-SPICED CHICKEN PITA WITH TAHINI-YOGURT SAUCE



Shawarma-Spiced Chicken Pita with Tahini-Yogurt Sauce image

Traditional shawarma calls for roasting meat on a large vertical spit. We mimic the effect here by roasting at a high temperature, which yields chicken that is crisp on the outside yet moist and juicy on the inside.

  • Do Ahead
  • Tahini-yogurt sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

SPICY CHICKEN TOMATO PITAS



Spicy Chicken Tomato Pitas image

I'm not sure if this is a Mediterranean dish with a southwestern flair or the other way around. All I know is that it's ideal for a summer dinner. The tomato relish is yummy as an appetizer with tortilla chips, so you may want to double it. -Cori Cooper, Boise, Idaho
