🥩 For the Doner Meat

* 500g lamb mince

* 1 small onion, grated into a paste 🧅

* 3 tsp minced garlic 🧄

* 1 tsp salt

* 2 tsp sweet paprika

* 1½ tsp dried oregano

👨‍🍳 Method

1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

2️⃣ In a large bowl, combine the lamb mince, onion paste, garlic, yogurt, olive oil, paprika, oregano, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

3️⃣ Divide the mixture into two equal portions.

4️⃣ Place each portion onto a sheet of baking paper and flatten into a thin, even rectangle.

5️⃣ Roll the baking paper over the meat from the long edge to create a long, flat cylinder shape.

6️⃣ Transfer both rolls to a baking tray and bake for 40 minutes, or until fully cooked.

7️⃣ Allow them to cool slightly, then unwrap and break the meat into small pieces.

8️⃣ Drizzle with fresh lemon juice.

9️⃣ Return the meat to the oven for a few extra minutes until the edges become crispy and golden.

🔟 Serve warm in pita bread with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, cheese, and garlic aioli.

🍽️ Tips for Success

✔️ Grate the onion very finely for the best texture.

✔️ Keep the meat layer thin for even cooking.

✔️ A squeeze of fresh lemon adds brightness and balances the richness.

✔️ Returning the meat to the oven after shredding is the secret to those irresistible crispy edges.

😍 The Result
