Shawarma is a Middle Eastern (Levantine) dish of pita or lavash stuffed with meat that's grilled and then chopped — traditionally lamb, and less often veal or turkey — along with spices, sauces, and a salad of fresh vegetables. In non-Muslim countries you may also find pork versions. It's eaten by hand, without utensils. The word "shawarma" comes from the Turkish çevirme, meaning "turning," a reference to the rotating grill. As early as the 17th century in the Ottoman Empire, pieces of meat were cooked on a horizontal grill much like a kebab; the vertical grill appeared by the mid-19th century. The city of Bursa in modern-day Turkey is usually considered the birthplace of döner kebab ("turned meat") — thin shavings sliced from layered meat roasted on a vertical spit. For shawarma, the meat (lamb, turkey, beef, chicken, or sometimes pork) is roasted on a special vertical grill: the pieces are stacked on an upright spit that rotates against heating elements running alongside it. As the meat cooks, it's shaved off in thin slices with a long knife (or an electric rotary blade) that drop into a tray below, then chopped further. Along with the meat, the pita or lavash is filled with sauce (usually white garlic, occasionally red tomato) and vegetables (cabbage and cucumbers).
