Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomato Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add chopped tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 15 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Doner Meat

    If using pre-cooked doner meat, slice it thinly. If raw, cook the meat in a skillet until fully cooked and then slice it thinly.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Bread

    Toast the pita bread until golden brown. Cut them into halves or quarters depending on your preference.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Iskender

    On a serving plate, layer the toasted bread, then top with sliced doner meat. Pour the tomato sauce over the meat and finish with a generous dollop of yogurt. Drizzle melted butter on top for extra flavor.
