Homemade Doner Kebab "Fakeaway"

This is a popular 'fakeaway' at the moment, and having cooked it, I can see why: it's a faithful recreation of a doner kebab, but in the comfort of your own home. The rolled meat can be frozen for easy use at a later time - just make sure to fully defrost it before roasting in the oven.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium onion
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 400g 20% fat lamb mince
  • 500g 5% fat beef mince
  • 2 tbsp tomato puree
  • 4 tbsp greek yoghurt
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp salt
  • a generous seasoning of ground black pepper
  • 2 red peppers, thinly sliced
  • 4 medium tomatoes, cut into narrow segments

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 205 degrees Celsius
  2. Blend the garlic and onion in a blender until smooth.
  3. Put the garlic and onion puree into a large mixing bowl with all the other ingredients apart from the red pepper and tomato slices.
  4. Use your hands to combine all the ingredients in the bowl until well mixed.
  5. Cut 5 large sheets of greaseproof paper.
  6. Divide the meat mixture into four and place in the middle of four of the sheets of greaseproof paper.
  7. Use the remaining sheet of greaseproof paper and a rolling pin to roll the meat mixture out into a thin layer a few millimeters thick.
  8. Remove the top sheet and then roll up the thin meat into a paper-meat sauce.
  9. Repeat for the remaining 3 blobs of meat mixture.
  10. Place the meat rolls into a large roasting tin and place the red pepper and tomato slices in the middle.
  11. Spray a bit of olive oil on the tomato and peppers.
  12. Cook in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
  13. About halfway through the cook, toss the tomato and peppers around.
  14. Drain the liquid out of the pan (reserving for use in garlic sauce).
  15. Unroll the greaseproof paper and slice the meat into thin strips.
  16. Place the meat strips in a dish along with the roasted peppers and tomatoes.
  17. Grill under a high heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until it starts to brown at the edges.
  18. Serve in a flat bread with sliced lettuce, garlic sauce and chilli sauce.
