Shawarma rub is a combination of spices and herbs used to flavor the popular Middle Eastern dish of the same name. It typically includes a blend of paprika, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, allspice, and cayenne pepper, but can be customized to taste.
Shawarma rub is an essential component of shawarma, as it provides the characteristic flavor and aroma to the meat. The rub is applied to the meat before it is cooked on a vertical spit, and the spices slowly penetrate the meat as it cooks, resulting in a flavorful and juicy dish.
