This stunning shawarma features a tantalizing blend of wild boar, bison, lamb, and beef, with a luxurious layer of foie gras added just before serving. It’s a perfect way to create an elegant yet hearty dish.

Ingredients

For the Marinade:

• 1/4 pound foie gras, sliced (to be used as a topping)
• 1/2 pound wild boar, finely sliced
• 1/2 pound bison, finely sliced
• 1/2 pound lamb, finely sliced
• 1/2 pound beef, finely sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

For Serving:

• Pita bread or flatbreads
• Fresh vegetables (tomato, cucumber, onion)
• Tahini sauce or garlic sauce
• Fresh herbs (parsley or mint)

Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade:

   • In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, cayenne, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
   • Add the wild boar, bison, lamb, and beef to the marinade, ensuring all the meat is well-coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best flavor.

2. Cook the Shawarma:

   • Preheat your grill, stovetop grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Cook the marinated meats in batches, starting first with the wild boar and bison, followed by lamb and beef, until they are nicely browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes per batch). Be careful not to overcrowd the pan for optimal searing.

3. Prepare the Foie Gras:

   • In the same skillet or a separate pan, sear the slices of foie gras for about 30 seconds on each side or until golden but still tender. Set aside.

4. Assemble the Shawarma:

   • After cooking, let the meats rest for a couple of minutes. Slice them further if desired.
   • Serve the meats on warm pita or flatbreads and layer the crispy and tender foie gras on top.

5. Add Toppings:

   • Garnish with fresh vegetables—sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions—along with a drizzle of tahini sauce or garlic sauce. Add fresh herbs for extra flavor.
