DIRECTIONS
Garlic Dill Vegan Schmear:
Cream together cheese spread and mayonnaise until smooth. Add cucumber, garlic, dill and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Break up plant-based ground into large bowl. Add onion, parsley, dill, garlic, Shawarma Spice Mix, onion flakes and potato starch; mix well. Shape into 8 equal-sized balls, pressing firmly. Press each ball into a 6 x 1 1/2-inch-thick log, pressing firmly to form into shape. Place on baking sheet lined with Longo’s Essentials Parchment Paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
Brush shawarma with some of the oil and then place on preheated medium-high greased grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side until cooked through and lightly charred. Brush naan with remaining oil, place on grill and warm through on both sides.
Spread each naan with some hummus and Garlic Dill Vegan Schmear. Top with arugula and grilled shawarma. Top each with some onion, tomato, radishes, hot peppers and chili spread, if using.
Shawarma Spice Mix:
Stir together paprika, cumin, turmeric, salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic, onion powder, cloves, cinnamon and ginger. Place in sealed jar and store for up to 2 months.
