About Kofta shawarma
Kofta Shawarma is a flavorful dish with roots in Middle Eastern cuisine, combining seasoned kofta—ground beef or lamb mixed with spices, onions, and herbs—with the rich, smoky flavors of shawarma. Traditionally, the meat is slow-cooked and served wrapped in flatbread like pita, accompanied by fresh vegetables, creamy tahini, or tangy garlic sauce. This protein-rich meal offers essential nutrients like iron, vitamin B12, and healthy fats from the meat and toppings. Many versions include heart-healthy additions such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and parsley, which add fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. However, it can be high in calories depending on the portion size and ingredients like oily sauces or fried fillings. Opting for whole-grain bread, leaner meat options, and lighter sauces can make Kofta Shawarma a more balanced, nutritious choice without sacrificing its bold and satisfying taste.
