Best Shawarma spice for home cooking
What Shawarma spice is for, which kitchens use it, and where to find a jar worth cooking with.
Why cooks start here
Cumin, coriander, turmeric, and paprika — the rotisserie dust of the Levant.
In Lebanese and Middle Eastern cooking, Shawarma spice is not decoration. Add it where the recipe puts it: early if it needs fat and time, late if it is perfume.
Taste Shawarma spice before you empty the spoon. Fresh jars smell like themselves; tired ones smell like dust. Buy the smallest amount you will finish.
