Well, we don't get the Friday night donner kebab here in Oz so I did a bit of digging and came up with something that is spot on and healthy too!
Have a go.

Donner Kebab
716 g Lamb mince
716 g Beef mince
179 g Breadcrumb
179 g Water
2 g Cumin powder
2 g Coriander powder
1.5 g ground black pepper
0.5 g Chili powder
20 g butter or margarine
24 g salt
Method:
Place meats into bowl, mice with fingers for 10 mins or so until a real mush. Now add the breadcrumbs and mix for a further 2 minutes. Leave to rehydrate the breadcrumbs for 10-15 minutes in the fridge. Pack into a tin or baking tray and cook in the centre of an oven for about 1 hour at gas mark 4, 177?C, 350 ?F or until the internal temperature reaches 74?C. Slice lengthways thinly. Serve in a kebab bread with salad, chili sauce and a wedge of lemon.
Results were perfect, with homemade chilli sauce and garlic sauce...

You can buy a 10 kilo donner kebab from Dales in liverpool for 24 quid
-
I know, you can't buy it in Hobart Tasmania though. It costs a lot less to make it yourself though, plus you know what's in it! ;D

How many portions would you get out of that, do you think?

Cool Jerry, let me know how it goes mate. My family was made up to try donner kebab again (not that we ever really ate it in the UK it's just that you get a bit nostalgic!)
-
Just a thought, but rather than bake in an oven for an hour, could you grill it until brown and then slice the top off, grill again and slice and so on. this would replicate the process in a kebab shop maybe?
I also noted the addition of beef.
-
Well it's a lot less hassle Axe. I did think about putting bits under a grill to crisp them but the taste was so good the entire lot had gone before I made my mind up.
I like to think that ground beef is making up for the chicken lips and anal tissue you normally get in a donner! ::)
The sliced bits can be grilled, easily, on a barbie or a grill.

For sure, I don't eat Donner anymore, especially now you can't tell whether its got chicken lips in it or not. I used to love donner but it changed so much over the years, its not even tasty anymore.
I'm gonna have a go at this but make a smaller portion me thinks. ;)
-
You're right, and I shudder to think what's in it.
Let me know how you get on.

There are different grades of doner meat, apparently. CLICK HERE (http://www.istanbulmeat.co.uk/kebabs.html)

You'd assume that the cost factor would mean most places buy grade C kebab meat though?

I remember going to the Fast Food Exhibition at Brighton Centre way back in the late 80's. The Donner Kebab a new trend on the market I spoke to a chap selling the equipment and the idea.
He had about 8 different sample of Donner on the go, all had differing tastes. He said that there were over 150 different recipes for a donner.
I'm fairly sure that most outlets would be selling C grade especially in today's financial whole. We used to have a shop in Brighton that we'd make special trips to because of the quality of its meat, but it has sadly disappeared now.
Curiously, I once tried one of those cheap and nasty microwave versions and it had a flavour reminiscent of the old style Donner, I was very surprised.

The ones in the paper bag with pitta and frozen cabbage? I remember them.
Iceland used t do a pack of kebab meat you could buy, which presumably contained mostly meat, that was okay with some chilli sauce.
-
mmmmmmm chicken lips :P

Axe,
I also use half lamb, half beef in mine too. Recipe here, page 3 http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=3755.20 (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=3755.20)

My late father in law got a job driving a delivery van for a butcher's after he retired. They used to make donners in 40, 50 or 60 lb weights for local kebab shops. After being shown how they were made he wouldn't ever eat them again due to the amount of crap in them.
-
You can almost feel imminent death when you eat one, there's something sick and wrong with it. :o
-
I can remember waking up after one drunken night out and wondering what this waxy stuff was that was all over my shoes - it was fat that had dripped off the kebab and solidified onto my shoes.
-
So what your saying then, is buy a Donner Kebab not only will it keep you quiet for 10 minutes whilst you drunkenly devour it whilst stumbling home, but it will also waterproof your shoes for you I the process.
....yes I think I can see the benefits in that, or is it, when i'm drunk I my rationale and common sense, goes out the window. ;D
-
all of the above Axe plus the added benefit of clogging up your arteries and keeping health workers in a job ::)
having said that I'm gonna give this recipe a go!!

I'm going to re-test this recipe next weekend by drinking 15 pints of real ale, walking 3 miles and then arriving home with a road cone and someone's garden gnome, if it tastes as good as it did last time then it's perfect.
