Ingredients
- 1 kg (2.2 lb) ground lamb.
- 1 large onion chopped.
- 2 teaspoons of ground cumin.
- 3 garlic cloves finely chopped.
- 4-5 tablespoons of dried oregano.
- Salt and ground pepper.
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients in a large bowl and knead well for 3-4 minutes. Cover with cling film and keep in the fridge for a couple of hours.
- Preheat the oven at 170 Celsius (340 F).
- Place a large piece of greaseproof paper on your working bench. Use the meat mixture and create a long loaf. 1 kg of meat will give you probably two loafs. Try to make them relatively thin and long. Cover the loaf with the paper and use some aluminium foil to seal it.
- Place the loafs on a baking tray and add 3-4 cups of hot water.
- Cook for 2 hours while adding some hot water from time to time.
- Carefully open the foils and slice the loafs. If they seem uncooked, place some slices on a greaseproof paper and cook them in the oven for ~ 15 minutes at 180 Celsius (360 F). However, that may make your doner a bit dry.
- Serve them wrapped in warm pitta bread together with Greek tzatziki, tomatoes and sliced onion.
