Sis-doner (shish-doner) Recipe

Cooking Method

1. 1

   Marinate the Meat

   In a large bowl, combine the cubed lamb or beef with onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the fridge.

2. 2

   Prepare the Skewers

   If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes. Thread the marinated cubed meat onto the skewers, leaving some space between each piece.

3. 3

   Grill the Skewers

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

4. 4

   Prepare the Doner Mix

   While the skewers are grilling, take the ground lamb or beef and form it into a loaf shape. Grill or bake it in the oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 15-20 minutes, until fully cooked.

5. 5

   Slice the Doner

   Once the ground meat is cooked, remove it from the grill or oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice it thinly.

6. 6

   Assemble the Sis-Doner

   To serve, place the grilled skewers and sliced doner on pita bread or flatbread. Top with fresh vegetables and drizzle with yogurt sauce or tahini.
