1

Prepare the spice mix by combining all ingredients in a small bowl. Add olive oil and apple cider vinegar to the bowl and mix to combine.

2

Coat the mushrooms in the spice mixture. Allow to marinade for 30 minutes.
Preheat BBQ to a medium setting. Thread the mushrooms onto a large skewer, alternating between flat mushrooms and oyster mushrooms.

3

Place the mushroom kebab on a roasting rack in the BBQ (if you have one) and place a baking tray underneath the rack to catch and liquid. BBQ the kebab for 5 minutes on each side before rotating. Continue this process until the kebab is evenly cooked and tender.

4

Remove the kebab from the BBQ and allow it to stand for 5 minutes before carving the mushrooms into thin slices.

5

Lightly toast pita bread on the warm BBQ plate.

To assemble the shawarma, place yoghurt and/or hummus on the base of each piece of pita bread. Top with mushrooms, tomatoes, cucumber and onion. Finish with a pinch of sumac and torn parsley leaves. Fold or roll before eating.
