Marinate the chicken, beef, or lamb in a mixture of garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, cinnamon, olive oil, and lemon juice for at least 1 hour.

Preheat a grill or oven to medium-high heat.

Skewer the marinated meat or arrange it on a roasting pan.

Cook the meat on the grill or in the oven until cooked through and slightly charred, about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally.

While the meat cooks, prepare the sides: chop tomatoes, onions, and parsley for the salad.

Mix the chopped ingredients with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make tabbouleh.

Warm the pita bread on the grill or in the oven for a few minutes until soft.

Prepare hummus by blending chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil until smooth.

Arrange the cooked meat on a large platter with pita bread, hummus, tabbouleh, and pickles.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with additional lemon wedges.
