Angus & Oink Shawarma Rub for Middle Eastern BBQ dishes

With Angus & Oink Shawarma Rub 210 g, you give meat and vegetables the warm, aromatic flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine. This spice blend combines cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and fennel, among others. The result is a rich, spicy seasoning that makes it easy to prepare shawarma, kebab, and other grilled dishes.

The combination of spices from the Middle East, India, and North Africa makes this rub a surprising alternative to traditional American BBQ seasoning. Its aromatic character really comes into its own, especially with lamb, chicken, and vegetables.

How does Angus & Oink Shawarma taste?

Angus & Oink Shawarma has a savory, warm, and aromatic flavor profile. Cumin and cardamom provide the recognizable spiciness, while cinnamon, cloves, star anise, and nutmeg add extra depth. Black pepper and ginger add a slightly sharp touch.

The spice mix also contains lemon powder and a small amount of sweetness. This creates a balanced flavor that pairs particularly well with grilled meat and vegetables. The emphasis is on warm spices, not pronounced spiciness.

For which dishes do you use Shawarma Rub?

Angus & Oink Shawarma is suitable for a wide variety of barbecue dishes and Middle Eastern cuisine.

• Chicken shawarma: for seasoned chicken thighs or chicken breast, grilled on a plancha or on skewers.
• Lamb chops: the combination of cumin, cardamom, and cinnamon pairs well with lamb.
• Lamb shoulder: ideal for a slow cooking method where you pull the meat apart after cooking.
• Kebab skewers: for minced beef or lamb skewers with hot spices.
• Flatbreads: use the rub to season chicken, lamb, or vegetables for a filled wrap.
• Grilled vegetables: for example, eggplant, cauliflower, bell peppers, and zucchini.
• Roasted potatoes: for a spicy side dish with Middle Eastern influences.

How do you use Angus & Oink Shawarma?

Distribute the spice mix evenly over the meat or vegetables before you start cooking. You can use Shawarma Rub directly or mix it with a little olive oil to make a spice marinade.

For chicken shawarma, you can mix the rub with olive oil and a little lemon juice. Spread this over strips of chicken thigh and let the mixture marinate, covered, in the refrigerator. Then grill the chicken on a plancha or on skewers until fully cooked.

For lamb chops, you can apply the herbs shortly before grilling. For lamb shoulder, indirect cooking at a low temperature is interesting, whereby the herbs form an aromatic crust during cooking.

Shawarma already contains salt. Therefore, do not automatically add extra salt and adjust the amount of seasoning to your personal taste.

Preparing lamb shoulder with Angus & Oink Shawarma

A special application of this spice mix is slow-cooked lamb shoulder. Rub the meat all over with Shawarma Rub and cook it indirectly on a kamado or smoker until the meat is so tender that you can easily pull it apart.

Serve the pulled lamb in warm flatbread with fresh yogurt, tabbouleh, pickled red onion, and pomegranate seeds. The fresh ingredients provide a beautiful contrast to the warm spices and rich flavor of the lamb.

Preparing shawarma on the kamado or pellet grill

On a kamado, you can use Shawarma Rub for both direct grilling and indirect cooking. For example, grill chicken skewers, lamb chops, or kebabs over direct heat. For a larger lamb shoulder, however, choose a slow cooking method using indirect heat.

On a pellet grill, the spicy flavor of Shawarma Rub combines with a subtle smoky taste. This pairs particularly well with lamb shoulder, chicken, and larger cuts of meat.

For thinly sliced chicken shawarma or kebab, a plancha or cast iron pan is a practical choice. It allows you to cook the meat quickly and creates a beautiful roasted exterior.

What is the difference between Shawarma seasoning and a classic BBQ rub?

Many classic American BBQ rubs contain paprika, sugar, pepper, and garlic as key flavorings. Angus & Oink Shawarma, however, emphasizes warm spices such as cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and fennel.

This makes this seasoning particularly suitable for lamb, kebab, and Middle Eastern dishes. Are you looking for a different spice mix for chicken? Then also check out our selection of BBQ rubs for chicken .
