Ingredients

  1. veal - 60% of the meat mixture (thinly sliced)
  2. lamb - 40% of the meat mixture (thinly sliced)
  3. onion - watch the video to see (grated and strained)
  4. yogurt - watch the video to see
  5. salt - to taste
  6. black pepper - to taste
  7. zatar - a tiny amount (strained to remove sesame seeds)
  8. lamb fat - watch the video to see (for frying, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: Combine grated and strained onion, yogurt, salt, black pepper, and a tiny amount of strained zatar in a bowl to make the marinade.
  2. Marinate the Meat: Create layers of thinly sliced veal and lamb in a Tupperware, applying the marinade between each layer. Close the Tupperware and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 24 hours.
  3. Freeze the Meat: After marinating, transfer the meat to the freezer for at least 2 hours until it is completely frozen.
  4. Slice the Meat: Remove the frozen meat from the freezer and cut it into thin slices, mimicking doner kebab slices.
  5. Cook the Meat: Fry the meat slices in a pan, optionally using lamb fat for added flavor, until they are crispy yet juicy.
  6. Serve: Serve the cooked meat slices on bread or as desired. Enjoy the homemade doner kebab that closely replicates the authentic flavors experienced in Istanbul.
