Homemade Doner Kebab (Oven or Air Fryer)

Instructions

For the chilli sauce:

  1. Add ingredients to a small saucepan, bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.

For the garlic sauce:

  1. Add the ingredients to a bowl and mix to combine. This is best left to sit for about 30 minutes for the flavours to develop.
  2. If you want to make this even lower calorie, you can skip the mayo and use all yoghurt, but the mayo just gives it a more creamy taste.

For the Doner Meat (Oven Method)

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix all the ingredients for the Doner meat.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan-assisted)/160°C (350°F)/Gas Mark 4.
  3. Prepare the Baking Tray: Place a sheet of foil on a baking tray. Add the mixed doner meat and shape it into a flattened meatloaf, approximately 5×7 inches in size. Wrap the foil around the meatloaf, ensuring it’s fully covered.
  4. Bake in the Oven: Put the foil-wrapped meatloaf in the oven and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until the meat is thoroughly cooked.
  5. Rest the Meat: Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Slice Thinly: Using a sharp carving knife, slice the meatloaf into thin slices, aiming for nice and thin pieces.
  7. Char Under the Grill: Place the sliced meat back on a tray and put it under the grill (broil) at medium heat for a few minutes, or until the edges become slightly charred. (optional)
  8. Serve: Serve the sliced doner meat with salad, warmed pita bread, and your choice of garlic and chili sauce.

For the Doner Meat (Air Fryer Method)

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix all the ingredients for the Doner meat.
  2. Shape Meatloaf: Shape the mixed meat into a large meatloaf, slightly flattened.
  3. Wrap in Foil: Place the meatloaf on a sheet of foil and wrap it up tightly.
  4. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 340°F (170°C) for about 2 minutes.
  5. Cook at 340°F: Place the tightly wrapped meatloaf in the air fryer and cook it at 340°F for 25 minutes.
  6. Unwrap and Increase Heat: Carefully unwrap the meatloaf and increase the air fryer’s temperature to 360°F (180°C). Continue cooking until the meat is golden on the outside and cooked in the middle, which should take another 10-15 minutes.
  7. Rest and Slice: Allow the cooked meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes, then slice it with a sharp knife.
  8. Crisp Edges: If desired, you can return the sliced meat to the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to make the edges golden and crisp. (optional)
  9. Serve: Serve the Doner meat slices in warm pita bread along with salad and your choice of dips.
