The ultimate sharing Doner Kebab Fakeaway Night - yum!!
Most people won't admit that they actually like kebabs, it's the kind of thing most of us have ordered on a drunken night out. It is not something one tends to order sober.
Lets imagine the scenario - you go out for a few drinks and end up partying the night away at the local nightclub, walking home, you stagger into the local kebab shop ravenous for a greasy doner kebab on a grilled pitta, with a little bit of salad and either garlic sauce or chilli sauce (or if you are really really brave you might even have both and then wake up with the breath of a dragon in the morning - nice!!). We have all done it, right? Yes even me, although I must admit, those kind of days are long gone for me, I am a family person now. I can't remember the last time I have had a drunken night out.
You may be wondering why on earth a doner kebab fakeaway night, no one is going to eat that sober. Well, here in Canada they are hugely popular - with shawarma takeaways popping up all over the place.
Of course, it's not just the doner kebabs (or donair as they call it here), but also skewers of chicken, or shrimp, hummus, rice, potatoes, Greek salad and all other delightful dishes to be ordered.
I haven't ever seen a drunken person in any of them, although I have to admit, I've never ventured to any of the ones down in the city at night, so who knows.
My kids love dinner platters which I place in the middle of the table and we all dig into, so this was a great one to test out on them and they really enjoyed it. It gets a big thumbs up as a family meal.
If you really don't like doner kebabs, drunk or sober, then feel free to swap out the doner meat for chicken breasts, you can coat it in the same seasoning as I put in the ground meat - the only additional thing I would add is a little bit of lime or lemon juice and olive oil spray oil, add the chicken to skewers and then grill - delicious!!

Let's see the components of this delicious homemade Doner Kebab Fakeaway Night, that I put together.
1. DONER KEBAB
Extra Easy- 1 HEb and 4.5 syns
WW Smart Points - 13
- 450g/16oz of lean ground lamb - 18 syns (or use extra lean ground beef to keep this syn free)
- 1 tsp of salt
- 1 tsp of ground coriander
- 1 tsp of ground cumin
- ½ tsp of oregano
- ½ tsp of paprika
- ½ tsp of chilli powder (or teeny pinch of cayenne)
- ¼ tsp of garlic powder
- ¼ tsp of onion powder
- ¼ tsp of black pepper
- 4x2oz wholewheat Pitta Breads (4xHEb's)
- Mixed Salad - cucumber, crisp lettuce, tomatoes and red onion
- Preheat oven to 200c or 400f
- Add to a bowl the ground lamb and seasonings and mix to fully combine.
- Line a baking tray with a square of aluminium foil
- Add the meat to the tray and form into a meatloaf type shape, then fold the aluminium foil over around the meat, so it
make a kind of rectangle bowl shape, this will keep the juices in place and keep the meat from drying out). - Place in the oven and bake for approx 30mins, meat should be nice and golden on the outside and cooked through.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest for 10mins before slicing.
- While the lamb is resting, you can add the pitta
breads to the oven for a couple of minutes just to warm up. - When ready to slice, stick a fork right through the centre lengthways and
slice ofat desired thickness with a sharp knife. - I like the shavings of meat to be slightly thicker than as at a kebab shop.
- Serve in warmed pitta
breads with some mixed salad. - See recipes for garlic sauce and chilli sauce below.

Hi
With the chill I sauce, once made can it be bottled and kept for any length of time ?
Hi Graham, yes it should keep for about 1-2 weeks in the fridge 🙂
I made the Doner Meat for dinner and it was really good 🙂 So easy and everyone really liked it
What would you class as the lean lamb mince. Normal is 20% fat, some places do 10% fat but the 5% fat is really hard to get hold of?
Hello how long does the kebab keep in the fridge for. I was going to do it for my lunch for Tuesday and Wednesday was going to make it today (Sunday) don't want to make it Until i know how long will keep for. It's best to reheat from chilled in microwave as don't have a long break?
I would say 3-4 days it should keep in the fridge.
Could I make the kebab up and put it in the fridge in foil and then cook it the evening?
you sure can, I have done that before 🙂
Can I use minced chicken or turkey breasts as an alternative and use the slow cooker?
What alterations or additions to the mixture would it need?
Thanks
Hi I haven't tested the recipe in the Slow Cooker as yet. You might want to add some grated veg if using chicken or turkey, to prevent it from being too dry.
Can you freeze the meat after cooking it?
yes it will freeze okay.
