Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Garlic and Parsley:
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Finely chop the fresh parsley.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the lamb mince, minced garlic, all-purpose flour, and beaten egg.
- Add the finely chopped parsley, ground cumin, cinnamon, and dried coriander to the mixture.
- Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until they are well blended. You can use your hands or a spoon for this step.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf or long cylinder. Ensure it's compact and holds together well.
- Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add the lamb mixture to the skillet and sear it on all sides until it is browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet with the seared kebab to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes until the lamb is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (70°C).
- Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let the kebab rest for 5-10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute and makes slicing easier.
- Slice the kebab into thin pieces.
- Serve the sliced doner kebab with pita bread, a fresh salad, and your favorite sauces (such as tzatziki or garlic sauce).
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality lamb mince and the freshest herbs you can find.
- Don't overmix the meat, as this can result in a tough texture. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- If you have time, let the meat mixture sit in the refrigerator for about an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
- When forming the kebabs, wet your hands slightly to prevent the meat from sticking to them.
- Cook the kebabs over medium-high heat to ensure they are cooked through without burning the outside.
There you have it—your very own home-style doner kebab! Serve it with warm pita bread, fresh veggies, and your favorite sauce for a truly satisfying meal. This recipe offers a wonderful combination of textures and flavors that will make you feel like you're dining in a traditional kebab house. Enjoy!
