shawarma spice blend

Whole Roasted Spiced Cauliflower

I recently ate at Laser Wolf, an Israeli restaurant in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and their Shawarma Spiced Cauliflower entree was out of bounds! It inspired me to make a copy-cat version and this is what I came up with. No doubt different from what I enjoyed at Laser Wolf, yet quite delicious in its own right.

Shawarma Spice Blend

I love the mix of spices in Shawarma, so much so that I make this blend in large batches and keep it in my pantry to flavor a variety of dishes. The flavor profile is a fragrant and delicious combination of earthy, warming and sweetly-spiced tones. Here’s my version.
