• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 teaspoons Ground cumin

• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 10 Large lettuce leaves
• 2 medium Tomato
• 1 medium Cucumber

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Grate the onion and finely chop the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated onion, garlic, ground lamb, ground beef, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and chopped fresh parsley.

Step 4

Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until the mixture is well combined and sticky.

Step 5

Transfer the meat mixture onto a large piece of foil, shaping it into a long loaf (about 30 cm in length and 10 cm in diameter). Wrap the loaf tightly with the foil.

Step 6

Place the wrapped loaf on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to allow the outside to brown and crisp.

Step 8

While the kebab is cooking, prepare the vegetables: slice the tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion thinly.

Step 9

Once the kebab is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Slice the doner kebab into thin pieces using a sharp knife.

Step 11

To assemble, place the sliced doner kebab pieces onto a large lettuce leaf and top with tomato, cucumber, and red onion slices.

Step 12

Drizzle with olive oil and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
