FOOD FEATURE
A WORLD OF FLAVOR: WHAT’S HOT IN 2015
BY ANGELA SHELF

U
nlike yoga pants,
white trainers and
fake fur, the food
we eat might be considered
more classic than trendy.
The fact is, we all need to
eat. Basic and vital as it
seems though, food, like
fashion, is not without its
fads.
More than a succession
of fads, however, is the
history behind what and
how we eat. In this column
we’ve talked about the how
and why of certain foods
we’ve grown up eating, and
other foods we’ve grown to
love. Now, more than ever,

our vast multicultural pop-
ulation and the willingness
of many of us to try some-
thing new. Even children,
known for their fussy pal-
ates, are trying more com-

— probably due to their
forward-eating parents.
In 2015, there is a high-
pitched buzz about food.
Heat and spice will be hot,
a trend that has been grow-
ing steadily and now is pre-
dicted to explode. Ethnic
cuisines from all over the
world, with a focus on new

the stage.
Is it because we are just
bored and want something
else for dinner? Or is it
because we now work and
live with people from all
over the world and, like
people do, we share our
food, and in the process
discover something new
that tastes delicious? It’s
probably all these things,
and something more. The
health of our nation is a
growing concern. In our
desire to eat for wellness,
we’ve discovered many el-
ements of global cuisines

we need while keeping our
diets interesting and tasty.
Also on the rise are rec-
ipes highlighting umami

naturally attracted to these
foods, which include sweet

Shawarma Spice Blend.
My recipe for Chicken
Shawarma converts what
has been a restaurant rec-
ipe into a dish that can be
prepared at home. The
Shawarma spice blend is a
cure for taste buds that are
tired of the same old chick-
en dish. It’s an adventurous
way to kick off a new year.

1. Rinse chicken pieces with cold
water, then cut horizontally into
thinner cuts of about 1/2 inch (each
piece could possibly be split into
2 slices depending on thickness).
Place chicken pieces in large bowl.
2. In a blender, mix lemon juice,
tomato sauce, yogurt, vinegar, gar-
lic, oil and spice mix. Add the mix-
ture to chicken and mix well. Cov-
er and let marinate in refrigerator at
least 4 hours, or overnight.
3. When ready, grill marinated
chicken and some sliced tomatoes
using grill pan on stovetop. Heat
grill pan and add 2 tablespoons oil.
Or alternately, grill using Panini
grill or George Foreman grill for
about 15 minutes on medium heat.
You also can cook the chicken on a
barbecue grill. Baking or broiling
in the oven will dry out the chick-
en.
4. Once cooked, allow chicken
to cool, and then shred as thin-
ly as possible. Traditionally, the
pita bread is spread with Leba-
nese Garlic paste, or you can use
a good-quality mayonnaise mixed
with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
and 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice.
5. Spread the chicken shreds
along diameter of a piece of pita
bread. Some restaurants place
French fries inside the sandwich.
Others add a cabbage and mayo
salad, along with salty Middle
Eastern cucumber pickles. You can
substitute shredded coleslaw and
sliced dill pickles, if desired, and
grilled or fresh tomatoes. Makes 4
servings.
