This vegetarian shawarma is so delicious and filling. It is a great alternative to meat shawarma for those who wish to include more medicinal vegetables in their diet. Served alongside a zucchini and cashew sauce, paired with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and fresh herbs, all wrapped up in red lentil tortillas, this recipe bursts with flavor. It is also gluten, dairy and oil free.
