Mc ARABIA

Jump to recipe

McArabia is an Arabian snack famous Worldwide.  It is a customized package, with two patties of grilled chicken, wrapped in pita bread, and enhanced with crunchy fresh lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and mayonnaise sauce…..which includes the sesame seed paste known as tahini.

People in the Middle East reach out to eat McArabia, but living here in the United States, I really miss this meal. Having several trials, it came up with the exact flavor. Hence it can be prepared at home, with flavoring spices from our pantry.

 

McArabia patty is made with chicken mince, spices, egg, and bread slices. The sauce is a combination of mayonnaise and vinegar. 

 

The pita freshly processed has a flavourful aroma which gives a boost to the wrap.

 

The Mc Arabia sandwich is made in all Middle East and Asian countries. It’s under the Chicken Sandwich Menu, along with other deals of Mc Donald.
