Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.

  • Peel, then halve carrot lengthwise. Cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
  • Peel, halve, then thinly slice onion.
  • Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Drain, then roughly chop olives.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Form meatballs
2
  • In a large bowl, combine chicken, half the panko (use all for 4 servings), Shawarma Spice Blend, half the garlic and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt. (TIP: If you prefer more tender meatballs, add an egg to mixture.)
  • Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
Roast carrots and meatballs
3
  • To one side of a parchment-lined baking sheet, add carrots and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
  • On the other side of the baking sheet, arrange meatballs.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven 10-12 min, until carrots are golden and meatballs are cooked through.**
Pickle onions
4
  • Meanwhile, to a small pot, add onions, vinegar, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water and 2 tsp (4 tsp) sugar.
  • Season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high.

  • Remove from heat. To a medium bowl, transfer onions, including pickling liquid.
Make hummus dressing and salad
5
  • To a small bowll, add mayo, hummus, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic and 2 tsp (4 tsp) water. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Set aside.
  • In another large bowl, whisk together 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) pickling liquid and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil.
  • Add spring mix and tomatoes, then toss to combine.
Finish and serve
6
  • Drain pickled onions and discard remaining pickling liquid.

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: The shawarma spices in the meatballs were a hit, though some found the overall flavour too savoury without enough balance.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding more diverse Mediterranean flavours to balance the savouriness of the olives and garlic.
