Makes 8

Ingredients

• 1kg lamb mince
• 2 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp mixed herbs
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper

To make the kebab:

• 2 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded
• 2 tomatoes, sliced
• 1/2 cup garlic sauce
• 1 cup hummus
• 2 cups tabouleh
• 8 pieces Lebanese bread or any flat breads

Method

Step 1. Preheat oven to 200C (180C fan-forced). Place the lamb, herbs and spices all into a food processor and mix until just combined. Alternatively, you can knead it together with your hands, but you will need to do it for 5 minutes so it is well combined.

Step 2. Lay out two large pieces of foil and place half of the lamb mixture on each. Wrap into a tight loaf (about 20cm long) and tuck in ends. Place into a baking dish and bake for 35-40 minutes.

Step 3. When done, leave to stand for 10 minutes while you prepare salads and sauces.

Step 4. Just before you serve, remove doner kebab meat from the foil packs and slice thinly. Serve slices in flat bread with salads and sauces.

Notes

Serving Suggestions

Note

• We made this into two loaves so it didn’t take too long to cook. But you can make one large loaf and increase the cooking time by 10-15 minutes.
• You can also make this dish in the slow cooker. Just place the wrapped meat into the base of your slow cooker and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
• You can halve the portions in this recipe to serve 4.
• There is quite a lot of salt in this dish so if you are serving it to babies I would reduce the salt by half.
