Authentic Homemade Doner Kebab

Ingredients

• 500 g Ground Lamb
• 250 g Ground Beef
• 1 large Onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tsp Dried Oregano
• 1 tsp Ground Cumin
• 1 tsp Ground Coriander
• 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
• 1.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black Pepper
• 4 pieces Pita Bread
• 0.5 cup Greek Yogurt(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with foil.

2. 2

   Grate the onion and squeeze out all excess liquid using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, beef, grated onion, minced garlic, and all the spices.

4. 4

   Knead the meat mixture vigorously for 5-10 minutes or use a food processor to achieve a very smooth, paste-like consistency.

5. 5

   Shape the meat into a tight, uniform loaf shape and wrap it tightly in aluminum foil, poking a few holes in the bottom for fat to drain.

6. 6

   Place the loaf on a wire rack over a baking tray and bake for 60 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).

7. 7

   Remove from the oven, let it rest for 10 minutes, then unwrap and slice into very thin ribbons using a sharp knife or peeler.

8. 8

   Flash-fry the sliced meat in a hot pan for 1-2 minutes to get crispy edges before serving in pita bread with salad.
