Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 500 grams Ground beef (15% fat)
  • 1 medium Grated onion (drained)
  • 3 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the ground beef in a food processor with the grated onion, garlic, yogurt, and all spices.

  2. 2

    Pulse the mixture until it becomes a very smooth, tacky paste; this ensures the classic 'doner' texture.

  3. 3

    Shape the meat mixture into a tight, uniform log and wrap it tightly in aluminum foil, twisting the ends like a candy wrapper.

  4. 4

    Place the foil log in a baking dish and bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 45 to 50 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove from the oven and let the meat rest in the foil for at least 10 minutes to retain juices.

  6. 6

    Unwrap the log and brown the outside in a hot pan with a little olive oil for extra crispness.

  7. 7

    Using a very sharp knife or a vegetable peeler, shave off thin ribbons of meat from the log.

  8. 8

    Serve the meat shavings inside warm pita bread with salad, tomatoes, and garlic sauce.
