Description
Classic Turkish street food featuring seasoned meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs lamb or beef, thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Pita bread, for serving
- Toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, yogurt sauce
Instructions
- Marinate the meat: In a bowl, combine the sliced meat with grated onion, minced garlic, olive oil, tomato paste, cumin, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator.
- Prepare the meat for cooking: Stack the marinated meat slices tightly on a vertical rotisserie skewer. If you don’t have a rotisserie, you can bake the meat in the oven.
- Cook the kebab: If using a rotisserie, cook the meat until it’s browned and crispy on the outside, rotating as needed. If baking, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the meat on a baking sheet and bake for about 1-1.5 hours, or until cooked through.
- Slice the meat: Using a sharp knife, slice thin pieces of meat from the cooked kebab.
- Assemble the kebab: Warm pita bread. Fill with sliced doner meat and your choice of toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, and yogurt sauce.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For best flavor, marinate the meat overnight.
