Do you know how to make a D?NER Kabab?
I live in Germany, and there are a lot of Turkish restaurants with this tasty sandwhich here. Do you know how to make one?
Answers:
I had to research this a little because in the US the name Doner (Donner) is widely associated with an unfortuate party that got cought in a Blizzard and some are reported to have dined on the bodies of the unfortuate souls who died before they got out.
That being said I found this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/turkish_cui... which has information on the different foods in Turkey and has a very appealing photo of the Doner Kabab!
If you do happen to get a recipie please pass it along as it looks quite good!
K
2 1/2 - 3 lb. leg of lamb, boned and cut in slices
1 Tbls. black pepper
3 lbs. ground lamb
Lamb fat
1 egg
2-3 Tbls. salt
onions, processed until a liquid-3 cups
1 cup olive oil
1 large tomato
This kebab is difficult to make at home, but I had to put it in. It is so popular in Turkey, as a sandwich, with pide cubes, a tomato sauce and yogurt (Iskender), or just plain with pilaf.
Remove any bits of skin and bone from the meat. Cut into serving-size slices, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Pound with a meat tenderizer or the edge of a heavy saucepan until 1/8 cm. thick. Trim.
Prepare a marinade of onion juice, olive oil, salt and pepper, and soak meat in the marinade overnight.
Spread over each piece of meat the lamb fat, and ground lamb mixed with an egg. Thread pieces of meat on a long skewer, starting with the larger pieces. Trim the chunk of meat on the skewer and add trimmings to the end of skewer. The tomato is put on the skewer whole at the end. The chunk of meat is broiled in the 'Doner Kebab' broiler, made specially for the purpose. The electric rotisseries they are selling today work well.
As the meat turns on the spit and is cooked, it is sliced off the sides with a sharp knife.
