Topic: The elusive donner

[Vindaloo-crazy]

Well, we don't get the Friday night donner kebab here in Oz so I did a bit of digging and came up with something that is spot on and healthy too!
Have a go.



Donner Kebab

716 g Lamb mince
716 g Beef mince
179 g Breadcrumb
179 g Water
2 g Cumin powder
2 g Coriander powder
1.5 g ground black pepper
0.5 g Chili powder
20 g butter or margarine
24 g salt




Method:
Place meats into bowl, mice with fingers for 10 mins or so until a real mush. Now add the breadcrumbs and mix for a further 2 minutes. Leave to rehydrate the breadcrumbs for 10-15 minutes in the fridge. Pack into a tin or baking tray and cook in the centre of an oven for about 1  hour at gas mark 4, 177?C, 350 ?F or until the internal temperature reaches 74?C. Slice lengthways thinly. Serve in a kebab bread with salad, chili sauce and a wedge of lemon.

Results were perfect, with homemade chilli sauce and garlic sauce...

Bhaw ha ha!

Yeah, sorry for the photo the strong sun here tends to lend colours to things when they are photographed. Cracking recipe though.

I know, you can't buy it in Hobart Tasmania though. It costs a lot less to make it yourself though, plus you know what's in it!  ;D

How many portions would you get out of that, do you think?

Cool Jerry, let me know how it goes mate. My family was made up to try donner kebab again (not that we ever really ate it in the UK it's just that you get a bit nostalgic!)

Just a thought, but rather than bake in an oven for an hour, could you grill it until brown and then slice the top off, grill again and slice and so on. this would replicate the process in a kebab shop maybe?

I also noted the addition of beef.
