A Culinary Journey:

Desert Gate have introduced an exclusive restaurant guide across the UAE and Oman. It includes recipes from the chefs of the carefully selected restaurants, including one from the DG Restaurant you will dine at in Asateer. Here is one of Feisal Ouda's Signature Dishes: 

Chicken Shawarma Sandwich

Method:
Rinse the boneless chicken breasts with fresh cold water then cut horizontally into thinner cuts of about ½ inch. Mix all ingredients in a blender, add to a bowl and mix well with the chicken, cover and let marinate in the fridge overnight.
When ready, grill the marinated chicken using a panini grill for about 15 minutes on medium heat. You can also cook the chicken on a BBQ grill. Once cooked, shred the chicken thinly and it is now ready to be wrapped in bread. Spread the chicken shreds along the diameter of pita bread, spread a bit of garlic paste, add some salty cucumber pickles, some French fries, and some grilled tomatoes, roll and enjoy.
Chef’s Tip:
Try marinating a mix of 75% chicken breast and 25% skinless boneless chicken thighs. The fat in the thighs gives the chicken a nice kick when grilled. Add grilled tomatoes in the sandwich instead of raw tomatoes.
