Shawarma

Just hummus with pita is a snack, hummus with some cottage cheese and veggies is a tasty meal that is easy to make.
Make a batch of hummus.

Meanwhile, marinate for an hour in the fridge (or overnight if you have the time):
250 gms of cottage cheese (or boneless chicken cubes)
2-3 tbsps of yogurt
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder/roasted cumin
Salt/pepper to taste

Transfer this to a baking dish and slow roast it for an hour at 150 deg C, then at 200 deg C for 10-15 min so that the juices evaporate. But make sure to not burn the tops and keep tossing them every 5 minutes for the last 15 minutes.
For the salad:
1 beet: peeled, boiled and sliced
1 carrot, sliced
A few olives 

Start layering with the hummus at the bottom, then the salad, and top it up with the cottage cheese. You could even add some Greek yogurt to the base.

Serve with toasted Pita bread
