INGREDIENTS
  

  • 1 ½ pounds ground mutton or lamb, 680 g
  • 1 small onion, finely grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • parchment paper

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, grated onion, garlic, spices, salt, and olive oil. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and slightly sticky.
  • Place the meat mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top.
  • Use a rolling pin to roll the meat into a thin, even rectangle. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper.
  • Carefully roll the meat tightly into a log shape using the bottom parchment paper to help. Transfer the rolled meat onto a baking tray.
  • Bake for 20 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the oven and carefully collect the juices from the tray. Set aside. Tear or slice the meat into doner-style pieces. Spread the pieces out on the tray.
  • Drizzle the reserved juices over the meat. Place under the broiler for 5–8 minutes, turning as needed, until slightly crispy. Remove and serve immediately.

NOTES

  • Yield: 4-6 servings.
  • Use finely grated onion. This keeps the meat juicy and prevents it from drying out.
  • Roll the meat thin and tight. This is key for getting that classic doner texture with crispy edges.
  • Don’t skip the juices before broiling. This adds flavor and keeps the meat tender while crisping.
