Description
Shawarma grilling involves cooking thinly sliced meat on a vertical spit, achieving a crispy exterior and a juicy interior.
Technical
The Maillard reaction occurs when amino acids and reducing sugars in the meat react with heat, resulting in new flavor compounds and browning. The vertical spit applies mechanical stress, tenderizing the meat and concentrating flavors.
