Doner Kebab

So I better add a caveate before you read the rest of this. 5% lamb mince is REALLY hard to get hold of. Actually we used 20%, therefore no longer having it syn free. However it was so much better than we would have on a Saturday night that we decided to go with it.

The recipe is from here: http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/23670/authentic-turkish-doner-kebab.aspx

Ingredients

• 500 g lean lamb mince
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 finely chopped onion (optional)

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 180 C / Gas 4.
   2. Basically you just mix all of the ingredients together as much as you can - I put it in my mixer on high speed for about three minutes to ensure it was really smooth.
   3. When you're happy that it's as smooth as it's going to get, squish it into a meatloaf type of shape and wrap tightly in foil.
   3. Bake in the oven for around 1 hour 20 minutes. Turn the loaf half way through cooking time to ensure even browning
   4. Once cooked, wrap kebab meat in foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
   5. I sliced it as thinly as I could and served ours in toasted pitta breads and salad.
    
   
   
   We'll definitely be having that again. It's really close to a proper donner but with the added benefit of not being greasy.
