turkish doner kebab

<p>Homemade version of world-famous Tuskish Doner Kebab Meat</p>

Easy Homemade Doner Kebab 

onion

beef (15% fat)

salt

black pepper

cumin

oregano

garlic powder

isot pepper (or paprika)

yogurt

milk

butter döner

Puree the onion in a food processor. Sieve its juice into a large mixing bowl. We just need the juice.

Put the ground beef, döner kebab seasoning, salt, yogurt and milk in the same bowl. Combine them well using your hand. Give it a log shape.

Transfer it on a baking paper and wrap it tightly. 

Let it rest in the fridge for 2 hours. Then transfer it to the freezer and let it sit there for 8 hours or overnight. 

Remove it from the freezer and let it sit on the counter for 5 minutes. Hold the döner log with a piece of baking paper and carefully make large thin slices using a sharp knife. 

Heat one teaspoon butter in a non stick pan over high heat. Line sliced döner pieces in a single layer and cook both sides until nicely brown. 

Cook döner in batches and never overload the pan. 

I haven’t made it yet, but my family officially loves you forever. I got my husband addicted to Iskender Kabob when I took him to Turkey in 2004, and I’ve been trying to make it at home since. Döner is one of my favorite foods in the world, and making it at home will be amazing!

This is an absolutely fantastic recipe. I’ve ditched the skewers and bake mine in the oven for an hour, turning half way through. So good, thank you so much!

A shortcut version of Turkish doner kebab made with ground beef and rolled in parchment paper, just like the one trending on social media. When you serve it with roasted tomatoes, peppers, and the traditional tomato-butter sauce, it comes surprisingly close to the real thing in a fraction of the time.

Viral Doner Kebab Recipe

garlic (peeled)

beef (85/15)

tomato paste

Greek yogurt (full-fat

paprika

red pepper flakes (optional)

tomatoes (quartered / medium sized)

green peppers

olive oil

unsalted butter

water

bread (or pita bread)

Sumac Onions

Preheat the oven to 400 °F (204°C).

Place the onion and garlic in a food processor and pulse until fully chopped/pureed. Place it in a large bowl.

Into that same bowl, add in the beef, tomato paste, Greek yogurt, ground cumin, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

Using clean hands, mix well until thoroughly combined.

Divide the mixture into 3 equal pieces*.

Grab a large sheet of parchment paper and place one of the pieces in the middle. Place another sheet of parchment on top and, using a rolling pin (or your hands), roll it out into a rectangle. Do your best to make it as even as possible.

Remove the parchment paper on top. Starting from the bottom with the short side facing you, roll the meat (with the parchment paper) onto itself in 2-inch increments until complete. Transfer it to a large sheet pan.

Repeat the same process for the remaining pieces.

Move the rolled meat to the side and add the tomatoes and peppers to the same sheet pan. Drizzle them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Transfer it to the oven and bake for 20 minutes.

When done, unfold the rolled meat and tear it into large pieces.

To make the sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the tomato paste and water and mix until combined. Cook until it comes to a boil and remove from the heat.

To make “durum”, lay a piece of lavash on a cutting board and spread it with a tablespoon of tomato sauce. Add a handful of meat on top, along with some roasted tomatoes and peppers, and a handful of sumac onions (if using).

Drizzle it with more tomato sauce and gently roll it up from the bottom, tucking the filling in as you go.

Repeat the same process for the remaining lavash bread and doner meat. Using a sharp knife, cut it in half and serve.

Thanks for the recipe. First time making kebab. Love the smell of the spices ☺ I pan-fried them though 🤐

This meal is a huge hit in our house! I like letting the meat mixture sit for a few hours to overnight to maximize the flavor before rolling it out. The sauce and peppers are delicious. Thank you for the recipe! :)

My son made these per my request. He did both versions, lamb and beef. I was amazed how perfect these turned out….delicious and just like pictured. We preferred the beef version. The grass feed lamb was quite gamey, but still tasted good. Flavors were subtle and blended well with each other. He will make again!

I made this exactly according to the recipe. I have to say it was....ok. Wouldn't make it again. I found the flavour rather bland compared to my local doner place. I like the idea of it, but need to search for a recipe with bolder flavours. The sauce was awesome though

Made this for dinner tonight along with your recipes for lavash bread and sumac onions. Turned out absolutely great, wouldn't change a thing. Cooking times and proportions were right on the money. I'll be making this again and again.

I’ve seen so many versions of this viral doner kebab online, but being Turkish, I have to say, I’ve never seen one that’s so traditional, so flavourful and so exactly like what you would find in Turkey. Thank you for sharing. My taste buds are hooked, and this is definitely going into our weekly menu 😋
