Homemade Rotisserie Doner Kebab Meat - beef or lamb!

Step 1

Mix beef or lamb with all the Spices - mix well using your hands.

Step 2

Cover and refrigerate 2 hours minimum, or up to 24 hours.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 170°C/ 325°F (150°C fan).

Step 4

Line baking pan with foil.

Step 5

Check to ensure skewers are long enough to prop on the sides of the pan. (Note 5)

Step 6

Place onion, bacon and garlic in a 8 cup/2L+ food processor. Blitz until it becomes a paste (video at 29 sec),~30 sec on high, scraping down sides as you go.

Step 7

Add meat and blitz on low until it becomes a paste (video at 42 sec), scraping down sides (~1 min for powerful food processors, 2 min for less powerful). (Note 4)

Step 8

Turn meat out onto work surface. Wet hands with water, then shape into an even block 20cm/8" long.

Step 9

Place 2 x 60cm / 2 feet long pieces of foil overlapping each other by 1/3. (Note 6)

Step 10

Place meat on the end of the foil, then roll it up, tightly wrapping it in the foil.

Step 11

Twist the ends firmly to form a log 25cm/10" long, then snip off excess foil. Roll into even log.

Step 12

Thread skewers through the log.

Step 13

Place log elevated in pan by propping skewers on the edge of the pan. (Note 7)

Step 14

Cook for 1 1/2 hours, turning once after 1 hour, until the log reaches 70°C/160°F (up to 80°C/175°F is fine). The log is cooked at this point. (Note 9)

Step 15

Remove foil from log but leave skewers in place.

Step 16

Increase oven heat to 250°C/480°F, or as high as your oven can go if it can't reach this.

Step 17

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, rotating once, until browned all over.

Step 18

Remove skewers then stand the meat upright.

Step 19

Shave meat thinly - carve as much as you intend to use.

Step 20

Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Cook shaved meat lightly coloured but still "floppy" (not crisped). Use immediately for Doner Kebabs!

Step 21

Smear hummus on warmed flatbread. Top with lettuce, tomato, and onion.

Step 22

Pile on Doner Kebab Meat. Drizzle with sauce(s) of choice.

Step 23

Roll up tightly, wrap in foil if desired (to hold together). Grab and devour!
