Treat your ingredients with care...
- French fries — For a crispier result, you can fry the frozen fries instead of baking them. Make sure to drain them well on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Shawarma or kebab meat — If you can't find pre-packaged shawarma or kebab meat, you can marinate thinly sliced chicken or beef in a mixture of yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and spices for a few hours before cooking.
Tips & Tricks
- To add an extra kick of flavor, sprinkle some chili flakes or drizzle hot sauce over the Kapsalon before serving.
- Customize the toppings to your liking by adding pickles, jalapenos, or olives.
- For a healthier version, you can use sweet potato fries instead of regular fries.
- Experiment with different types of cheese, such as Edam or Cheddar, for a unique twist.
- If you prefer a vegetarian option, substitute the meat with grilled vegetables or falafel.
Serving advice
Serve the Kapsalon as a complete meal on its own or pair it with a side of garlic bread or a fresh green salad for a more balanced plate.
Presentation advice
For an appealing presentation, layer the fries, meat, and cheese neatly in an oven-safe dish before baking. Once cooked, top it with the vibrant salad and drizzle the garlic sauce over it for a colorful and appetizing look.
