Surely, many of you like to treat yourself with such a hearty treat, like shaurma. Ready to eat it for breakfast and dinner? But what do those who "sit" on a diet and adhere to a particular food system? Option "to give up tasty" does not suit you at all? Then there is a way out - dietary shaurma.

Today, we will share with you a recipe that will be a godsend for those who observe proper nutrition and do not want to eat anything from roast and fat. Dietary shawarma, the recipe of which we will offer you today, does not scare with high caloric content, high fat content and heaviness in the stomach.

Yes, even such a dish as shaurma can be low-calorie. And, by the way, quite inexpensive in terms of the cost of a set of products, which can also be varied if desired, which is a big plus for the dish.

Ingredients for the first recipe

• Lavash (one piece per serving).
• One small tomato.
• Two tablespoons of pickled mushrooms.
• One lightly salted cucumber.
• 200 grams of chicken breast.
• Hard cheese (if desired and without breaking the barrier of calories).

Ingredients for the second option

• 200 grams of pita bread (it's better to buy thin Armenian lavash, do not take thick cakes that are sold in supermarkets).
• One hundred grams of tomatoes.
• 180 grams of Peking cabbage or any green lettuce.
• One small fresh cucumber.
• Boiled chicken breast.
• Fused "sausage" cheese (optional).

Kefir sauce

As you understand, dietary shawarma can not be cooked with the participation of fatty mayonnaise or high-calorie tomato paste with starch, etc. Therefore, we suggest you prepare a low-calorie sauce. He will consist of:

• Kefir - 250 ml.
• Three cloves of garlic.
• Half a teaspoon of salt.
• A small bunch of fresh greens (dill, parsley).
• Pinches of black ground pepper.
• One hundred grams of salted cucumber.
• Hot red pepper (optional).

The process of cooking homemade shawarma. Option one

First you need to prepare all the necessary ingredients. Preparing such a dish as a dietary shaurma with chicken, the first thing we pay attention to this particular ingredient. Chicken breast should be peeled off (if any) and boiled in slightly salted water. After this, we take out the meat and let it cool down completely at room temperature.

Shaurma dietary at home is prepared from those products that are available in the refrigerator for the season. Today we are preparing a "winter" version and picking pickled cucumber, tomatoes and pickled mushrooms. All components must be finely chopped.

We spread the lavash on the table. As a rule, in a standard recipe as a sauce, there is a mixture of mayonnaise, ketchup, fatty sour cream and kefir. But since we are preparing a home-made dietary shawarma, we will lubricate lavash with kefir sauce. For lubrication, you can use a special silicone brush or a regular tablespoon.

Next on the list is the addition of meat. We recommend chicken breast not to cut, but to tear your hands in small pieces. After the meat comes a layer of tomatoes, then - cucumbers and mushrooms. You can optionally add some more pickled vegetables, for example, eggplant or cabbage. Also it will be very tasty and at the same time low in calories.

It remains only to wrap a sheet of pita bread in a large roll and put it in a microwave for a couple of minutes. You can also use a special grill oven, on which it is possible to warm up shawarma without using oil.

Home shawarma. Option Two

If someone seems that pickled vegetables and mushrooms - after all, the food is rich and high-calorie, then we offer a second, even easier option. Such a dietary shawarma can be called (as opposed to the first) "summer". Only fresh vegetables will be present here.

As in the first recipe, all the ingredients are finely chopped. Peking cabbage tears in small pieces. We do the same with chicken boiled meat. Sausage cheese on a large grater. You can, of course, use the usual hard cheese, but for caloric content it will be much more unhelpful than fused. Choose yourself.

We spread pita bread. We spread it with kefir sauce and place all the ingredients on the layers: chicken, tomato, cucumber, cabbage, cheese. Roll the roll and into the oven for two or three minutes.

Sauces for home-made shawarma

So, if you decided on our advice to prepare such a dish as a dietary shaurma (a recipe with a photo attached), then take note of a couple of tips. After you choose for yourself a certain set of low-calorie products, which you will use for making shawarma, we advise you to stock up with the recipe for sauces. As a rule, "sitting" on a diet and allowing yourself only certain foods, a person feels that they are quickly beginning to bother. In this case, only a variety of sauces and dressings can save the situation.

Mustard sauce

A very specific taste of the dish will be made with mustard sauce. It is made from dry mustard and low-fat cream. Mix in equal proportions mustard and cream. If you want to make the dish more sharp, then reduce the amount of cream. If you do not like the sharp, then, respectively, reduce the content of mustard powder.

Orange

Fans of exotic shades in the taste of the usual dishes, we recommend preparing an orange dressing. Home shaurma with such a sauce will turn out very unusual, but certainly very tasty. By the way, this sauce will be perfect for any meat dishes, and not just for shawarma at home.

Squeeze juice from one large orange. Add to it half a teaspoon of liquid honey, a pinch of dried ginger, basil, parsley, cilantro. Next, add one teaspoon of not burning mustard. If you like hot, then add red pepper instead of mustard.

Also for home shawarma is an Armenian sauce made from pomegranates. It has a sweet and sour taste and is perfectly combined with meat. Cooking yourself it does not have to, it is sold in almost every supermarket. This will save you cooking time, which is a big plus for busy housewives.
