Salmon Shawarma Dinner Party – What’s Gaby Cooking

Another one particular of our famous WGC meal occasion menus coming your way – and this time it’s all about the most crazy Salmon Shawarma and all the unbelievable side dishes!

I’ve now designed this menu a grand full of 5 situations in the last 3 months… and I’m not even remotely about it. I am obsessed with all the spices and flavors. The ingredients all compliment each individual other correctly and it is rather uncomplicated to whip all the things collectively! Get ready… your friends are about to be Amazed!

APPETIZER:

Shawarma Olives – these shawarma spiced olives are actually addicting and it is most effective to make a double batch simply because you’ll consume a number of handfuls in advance of your visitors even arrive.

SALAD:

Butter Lettuce Salad – my go-to side salad for just about any situation. I’m obsessed.

SIDES:

Crispy Wild Mushrooms – these are the most straightforward way to make mushrooms and the fantastic aspect to the salmon. If you have leftovers, toss them into pasta and be ready to be obsessed.

Crispy Buttered Rice – This recipe truly took place by accident. I made rice a single evening for meal that was too damp – so instead of scrapping it entirely, I just threw it into a skillet with a Lot of butter and crisped it up in the oven. Actually the happiest incident there at any time was.

I also roasted some veggies to go along with every thing also! Regardless of what veg you have on hand is excellent – I did Cauliflower and Brussels at 425 right until golden brown.

Primary:

Salmon Shawarma – This salmon is utter perfection. The shawarma spice rub is a single that I want to slather on anything permanently and at any time! The salmon is cooked to perfection and it is moist, flavorful and the star of the demonstrate!

No dessert on this a single as we just served contemporary fruit! And for drinks…. we did a Pinot Noir but a Rosé is very inspired far too!
