SCHWARMA GARLIC SAUCE (SKORDALIA)



Schwarma Garlic Sauce (Skordalia) image

This is a thick, white garlic sauce that's commonly served on schwarma. I found the recipe in a cookbook published by my husband's grandmother's Armenian Orthodox church. The sauce is tastiest and most authentic when made with potatoes, but white bread will also work and is often more convenient.

SCHWARMA



Schwarma image

A wrap done by Middle Eastern street vendors - the recipe is surprisingly easy, not a lot of exotic ingredients, and good. The most difficult part is cutting the meat very thin! These can also be made with beef or lamb.
