Ingredients (for 8 sandwiches)
Ingredients
- 1 Livar prosecutor weighing approximately 2.5 kg
For the shoarma seasoning
- 5 g cloves
- 10 g black peppercorns
- 10 g coriander seeds
- 10 g mustard seed
- 5 g cumin seeds
- 10 g ground ginger
- 10 g garlic granules
- 10 g Hungarian paprika
- 5 g smoked paprika
- 5 g ground turmeric
- 5 g ground speculaaskruiden
- 10 g fine sea salt
For the cucumber salad and lettuce
- 1 cucumber
- 1 onion
- 1 clove of fresh garlic
- 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt
- 1 tsp sambal badjak
- 1/4 head of iceberg lettuce
- 4 sprigs of chives
Required accessories
- spit ring with spit
- core thermometer
- Light the charcoal in the Big Green Egg and heat, without accessories, to a temperature of 140 °C. For the shoarma seasoning, grind or rub the cloves, peppercorns, coriander seeds, mustard seeds and cumin seeds in a spice grinder, coffee grinder or mortar. Mix all the ingredients for the shoarma seasoning.
- For the shoarma, cut the prosecutor into slices about 1 centimetre thick. Sprinkle the meat with the shoarma seasoning. Thread the prosecutor slices onto the spit; make sure to turn the meat a quarter turn each time so that it is nicely balanced and will cook evenly. Tie up the meat like a rolled roast with butcher's twine.
- Place the spit with the meat in the Big Green Egg and close the Egg lid. Cook for about 1.5 hours until the meat has reached a core temperature of 74 °C; you can measure this with a core thermometer.
- Meanwhile, for the salad, peel the cucumber and shave it on a mandolin into 2-3-millimetre-thick slices. Sprinkle the cucumber with salt and pepper and leave in a colander
drain for about 1 hour. - Gently squeeze the cucumber. Peel and chop the onion and peel the garlic and finely chop the clove. Mix all the ingredients for the cucumber salad and put in a bowl.
- When the meat has reached the indicated core temperature, raise the Egg temperature to 180 °C and roast for another 15 minutes or so. Meanwhile, cut the iceberg lettuce into strips. Finely chop the chives, mix through the iceberg lettuce and place in a bowl.
- Remove the spit from the Egg and remove the butcher's twine. Cut the shoarma into thin strips off the spit. Serve the shoarma with the pita buns, cucumber salad and lettuce.
