- 10 grams Mint Leaves
- 100 grams Lettuce Leaves

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
Grate the onion and garlic, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean cloth or paper towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, ground beef, grated onion, grated garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, black pepper, and salt.
Add the egg to the meat mixture and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it on a lined baking tray.
Brush the loaf with olive oil to keep it moist during cooking.
Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches at least 75°C (167°F).
While the meat is cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce by combining Greek yogurt, finely chopped mint leaves, lemon juice, and grated cucumber (squeeze out cucumber moisture if necessary). Mix well and refrigerate until serving.
Once the meat is baked, let it rest for around 10 minutes before slicing thinly.
Serve the slices of the keto doner kebab on a platter with lettuce leaves as wraps, topped with yogurt sauce and tomato slices.
