Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground lamb
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Onion, grated
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground sumac
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 large leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 1 medium Cucumber, sliced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, ground beef, minced garlic, grated onion, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground sumac, paprika, black pepper, and sea salt. Mix well using your hands until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
Add the finely chopped fresh parsley to the meat mixture and knead for an additional couple of minutes to incorporate.
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the meat to firm up.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it on a lined baking tray.
Brush the meatloaf with olive oil to ensure it stays moist during cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 to 60 minutes, or until the kebab is fully cooked and golden brown on the outside.
Once cooked, remove the kebab from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing thinly.
To serve, lay a romaine lettuce leaf on a plate, place a few slices of the doner kebab on top, and garnish with slices of tomato, cucumber, and red onion.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing of flavor.
