If you love a proper chippy style kebab… this one is unreal.
I make this all the time and it tastes bang on.
✅ Ingredients (4 servings)
- 750–800g lean mince (lamb / beef / pork — or a mix)Personally I think lamb tastes most like chip shop doner
- 1 onion (finely diced)
- 3–4 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
- 2 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp oregano
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
👨🍳 Method
- Mix everything in a bowl until fully combined.
- Now the key part… knead it like bread for a few minutes.
- Then slam the mince mix onto the worktop/board around 12 times.This gets the air out and gives it that proper doner texture when you slice it.
- Shape it into a tight loaf / log.
- Oil a piece of foil, wrap the loaf up tightly and twist both ends like a Christmas cracker.
- Cook using either option below:
🔥 Oven
⚡ Air Fryer
- 40 minutes (depending on size, check it’s cooked through)
- Let it rest for 5–10 mins, then slice it thin (even better if you crisp it up in a pan for 1–2 minutes after slicing).
✅ Serving idea
Stick it in a wrap or pitta with salad + low cal garlic mayo (or yogurt + garlic) and it’s a game changer.
