Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground lean lamb
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Onion, finely grated
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 250 grams Plain Greek yogurt (for serving)
• 4 Pita breads
• 2 Tomato, sliced
• 1 Cucumber, sliced
• 100 grams Mixed salad greens

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, olive oil, minced garlic, grated onion, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and fresh parsley.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands until well combined. Ensure the spices and herbs are evenly distributed throughout the meat.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld and the meat to firm up for easier shaping.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 5

Shape the meat mixture into a compact, cylindrical loaf. Place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning the loaf halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.

Step 7

Once the doner meat is cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly.

Step 8

While the meat is resting, warm the pita breads in the oven for a few minutes.

Step 9

To assemble the kebabs, lay a warm pita bread on a serving plate, and fill it with mixed salad greens, slices of tomato, cucumber, and a generous helping of the sliced doner meat.

Step 10

Serve with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt on top and enjoy your low sodium authentic doner kebab!
