Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground lamb
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion, finely grated
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon, juiced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb and ground beef.
Add the finely grated onion and minced garlic to the bowl with the meat.
Sprinkle the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and salt over the meat mixture.
Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the mixture and add the chopped parsley.
Using your hands or a sturdy spatula, mix all the ingredients together until thoroughly combined and the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Transfer the seasoned meat mixture onto a large piece of parchment paper and shape it into a tight, uniform loaf.
Wrap the meat loaf tightly in the parchment paper, twisting the ends to ensure it holds its shape.
Place the wrapped meat loaf onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meat loaf from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Unwrap the parchment paper and slice the doner kebab thinly.
Serve hot with your choice of Whole30 compliant sides such as lettuce wraps, cucumber and tomato salad, or grilled vegetables.
