Schwarma Recipe

Has anyone got a schwarma recipe that's tried and tested? I saw a few online but they seem to vary quite a lot, thanks

Not sure how particular you are about the protein source. You might like Alton Brown's recipe for lamb gyro meat:

You might search that Food Network site and others for "gyros" and a few other spellings for what you requested (I think "shawarma" is the more common spelling around here).

For quite some time, I've wondered about how to replicate at home the effectiveness of a commercial vertical rotisserie. It's tough. One day I hope to experiment with a blow torch.

Definitely not shawarma but it's a very good gyro recipe. I've made it quite a few times.

I guess I don't know the difference between shawarma and gyro. Will try to educate myself. The ingredients and preparations have seemed much alike to me at restaurants, except that gyros are typically rolled in pita while shawarma is usually served on a plate with pita at the side.
