Advice

A mayonnaise-based sauce can be made tastier and more diverse by adding various spices and seasonings. Here are some that pair well with mayonnaise: Paprika: Sweet or smoked paprika adds a rich flavor and color. Pepper (black or white): Ground pepper gives a slight spiciness and depth. Dijon mustard: Adds spiciness and a bit of acidity, making the sauce more piquant. Lemon juice or zest: Provides freshness and a light tangy note. Curry: A small amount adds an exotic touch. Basil or oregano: Perfect for sauces with an Italian accent. A mix of aromatic herbs (e.g., Provençal herbs): Enhances aroma and complexity. Jalapeño or cayenne pepper: For those who love heat, a little spice can be added.

Step 1

How to make mayonnaise sauce for shawarma? Prepare the ingredients. Use high-quality, rich mayonnaise, fresh dill, garlic, ground coriander, and turmeric. Dill can be replaced with any other herb. Adjust the garlic amount to taste—add more for a stronger flavor or less for a milder one. You can also make homemade mayonnaise.

Step 2

Wash the fresh dill and pat it dry with paper towels. Finely chop the dill with a sharp knife. Peel the garlic and press the cloves through a garlic press. If you don't have a press, mince the garlic very finely with a knife.

Step 3

In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the chopped garlic and dill. Stir well.

Step 4

Add ground turmeric and ground coriander. If desired, add your favorite spices—khmeli-suneli works well.

Step 5

Mix the sauce thoroughly and taste it. Adjust the seasoning as needed. This sauce can be prepared in advance and stored in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Step 6

Use the mayonnaise sauce for shawarma. It pairs well with chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, and vegetarian shawarma. Enjoy your cooking!
