Azerbaijani shawarma
Description
The recipe won't take much time. With minimal ingredient costs, you'll get a rich flavor and aroma from the prepared shawarma. Do not serve the dish with various vegetable salads or mix flavors—authentic shawarma is made with meat and a few vegetables, but always with garlic sauce. Serve hot.
