Instructions
Doner Kebab
- 1Blend 2 onions with a pinch of salt until completely broken down and juicy in a food processor or grater. Place the mixture in a sieve and press gently to extract juice without mashing the pulp.
- 2Add onion juice to ground beef with yogurt, thyme, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt.
- 3Knead well until fully combined. Divide mixture into 6 portions (about 8oz each). Place each portion on parchment paper, cover with another sheet, and roll into a rough square.
- 4Lightly wet the underside of the parchment if it slides on the counter. Peel off the top sheet. Roll tightly from the shorter edge into a log.
- 5Arrange logs on a baking tray and bake at 220°C (430°F) for 20 minutes. Peppers can be baked alongside.
- 6Pour juices from the tray into a small bowl. Remove logs from paper and sauté in butter. Add reserved juices when browning and sauté a little more.
Assembly
- 1Press lavash bread onto the hot pan for flavour. Fill with döner, roasted peppers, tomatoes, and sumac onions.
- 2Roll up the filled lavash to serve.

Tips
- Ensure onion juice is thoroughly extracted to avoid a pulpy texture in the kebab mixture.
- Rolling the kebab mixture tightly in parchment paper is key to achieving a cohesive log for slicing.
- Warm the lavash bread on a pan before filling to enhance flavour and pliability.
