Shawarma Rub

Shawarma is more than just a meal—it’s a culinary tradition that has traveled across centuries and continents. Originating in the Levant region, shawarma traces back to the Ottoman Empire, where early iterations of this dish were prepared as marinated meats roasted on vertical spits. The technique spread across the Middle East and Mediterranean regions, becoming a beloved street food known for its bold spices and irresistible aromas. Traditionally made with chicken, lamb, or beef, shawarma is served wrapped in pita bread, accompanied by tahini, hummus, or garlic sauce, and often garnished with pickled vegetables.

Our Shawarma Rub from Lebanon encapsulates this rich history by combining a carefully selected mix of spices that pays homage to the dish’s origins. Perfectly crafted to recreate the authentic taste of Lebanese shawarma, this rub is essential for anyone looking to bring the vibrant flavors of the Middle East into their kitchen. Whether you are roasting meats, grilling skewers, or preparing vegetarian alternatives, our Shawarma Rub adds depth, warmth, and a touch of spice to every dish.

Flavor Profile

The Lebanese Shawarma Rub features a balanced blend of aromatic spices that create its signature bold and earthy profile. The flavors of cumin and coriander form the base, imparting a nutty, warm richness, while garlic, cinnamon, and cardamom add complexity and intrigue. A touch of paprika and black pepper provides a hint of spice, rounding out the blend with just the right amount of heat.

This well-rounded spice profile makes the rub highly versatile. Not only is it perfect for marinating meats such as chicken thighs, lamb shoulder, and beef shawarma, but it also works beautifully in vegetarian dishes. Toss it with chickpeas before roasting, sprinkle it on falafel, or use it to season grilled eggplant and cauliflower for an authentic shawarma-inspired meal.

Simple to Use and Perfect for All Cooking Styles

Using Shawarma Rub is simple and effortless. Mix it with olive oil and lemon juice to create a flavorful marinade, or rub it directly onto meats before grilling, roasting, or slow-cooking. Whether you’re making traditional shawarma wraps, shawarma bowls, or experimenting with shawarma-seasoned vegetables, this rub ensures your dish will be bursting with vibrant Middle Eastern flavors. Its authentic blend guarantees that every bite takes you closer to the bustling streets of Beirut, where shawarma remains a culinary staple.
