Clean the mushrooms by dry cleaning them, do not wash them with water.

Spray the cleaned mushrooms with Oh Mommy! Macadamia Oil Spray.

Heat a cast iron skillet on medium-high heat and place it on top of the mushrooms to dehydrate them slightly.

Turn off the heat on the cast iron pan and add a heaping scoop of butter to it.

Add the shawarma spice blend to the melted butter and mix well.

Place the mushrooms into the pan and mix them with the spiced butter.

Assemble the dish by spreading tzatziki on the pita bread.

Add a layer of arugula on top of the tzatziki.

Place the cooked mushrooms on the pita.

Top with marinated onions, tomatoes, and a little bit of harissa.

Garnish with parsley to finish the dish.
