Instructions

1. Prepare Meat:

   • Put beef mince in a large mixing bowl.
   • Sprinkle with paprika, cayenne, cumin, garlic powder, dried oregano, bicarbonate of soda, salt, and crumbled stock cubes.
   • Mix well using hands or a spoon. For a smoother paste, blitz in a food processor (optional).

2. Shape and Cook:

   • Shape the doner mix into a log and wrap tightly with two layers of foil.
   • Scrunch two pieces of foil and place in the slow cooker.
   • Use a skewer to poke a few holes into the meat roll and place in the crockpot.
   • Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, until the meat registers 70°C / 160°F with a meat thermometer.

3. Cool and Slice:

   • Allow the meat to cool slightly, then carve thin slices using a sharp knife or potato peeler.
   • Pan fry the meat strips to warm them up if desired.

4. Serve:

   • Serve with toasted pita bread and desired vegetables and sauces.

Notes

Tips and Serving Suggestions:

• Change It Up: Use lamb mince or a mix of beef and lamb, or try turkey mince.
• Slimming World Doner Kebab: Use a wholemeal wrap and serve with onions, lettuce, tomatoes, and low-fat mayo/salad cream/hot sauce. Or serve as a salad bowl with lots of veggies.
• Sauce It Up: Mix sour cream with yellow mustard and ketchup, adding a drizzle of Sriracha.
