Nefi's Kebab (Homemade Doner)
Description: This is a family recipe for homemade doner kebab. It's much better than those dry meatloaf ones you often see. We start by blitzing a few onions and adding those to some minced meat with some yogurt, olive oil and a lot of seasoning to give it plenty of flavour. Then we're going to get all of that mixed together until it's a nice smooth consistency. We're going to take some parchment paper and get it nice and thin, roll it up and then get those on a baking tray and in the oven. About halfway through we're going to drain that liquid so it's not swimming. Then once it's done we're going to unravel it, top it with some lemon juice and get it back in the oven to make it a little bit crispy and then we're going to take it out and start serving in some pita breads. Can't say I'm the best at constructing kebabs, so I did mine and then got out of the way and let the master do the rest.
