just thinking aloud here so feel free to burn this idea in flames.

could you therefore emulate the doner spit process by mashing up a load of lamb and spices (i.e. those from the F-Word vid i remember nutmeg at least) then spreading the mix out thinly on a baking tray before putting it all under the grill?

i guess there would need to be a slight angle over the tray so that any grease could drain off into the grill pan.

Just a thought here, but why would anyone want to go to such labour and trouble to produce their own Doner kebabs when you can get one down the road for about ?2.50?

Here is a recipe for Chicken Gyro which is a Greek Keebab. I have made it a twice and tastes a treatt.

Ingredients

? 4 chicken breast fillets

? Marinade 

50 ml. Olive Oil (I use extra virgin) 
1 tsp. Salt 
1 tsp. Black Pepper 
1 tsp. Paprika
2 tsp. dried oregano 
2 lemons (juice and a little of the zest) 
4 cloves of garlic (chopped) 
1 tsp. Chilli powder I use Deggi Mirch or Rajah

Instructions

1. Mix all the marinade ingredients in a bowl. 
2. Add chicken and mix. Cover and leave in the fridge overnight
3. Get the griddle pan hot and place the chicken on. Leave it to cook for 5 minutes, before trying to move it, otherwise it will stick to the griddle. 
4. Turn over and grill on the other side, again don't move it for 5 minutes. 
5. Pour on some of the marinade on top and turn the chicken over. Repeat this after another 5 minutes, until chicken is nicely browned. Basically, you are cooking the chicken for about 20 minutes, turning and basting with the marinade. 
6. Once cooked, slice thickly and keep aside. 
7. Serve filled inside a freshly warmed and split pita bread.

I have tried it the griddling method way and also tried cutting the chicken breast in strips and fried both taste excellent. Nice with salad and yoghurt mint sauce or chilli sauce.

Here's one for Greek Lamb Gyro Meet, which is lovely too

1 pound ground lamb
1/2 cup very finely chopped (or shredded) onion
2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic
3/4 teaspoon salt (preferably sea salt)
1/2 teaspoon dried ground marjoram
1/2 teaspoon dried ground rosemary
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Mix everything together and let sit in the fridge for 1−2 hours.

Blend in a food processor for about 1 minute. (When cooked, this will help give it a more traditional gyro feel on your palate. Otherwise, it just takes like cooked minced meat.)

Form into an oblong around a spit, and slow cook over a grill for around 30−45 minutes, cooking far from the coals, and rotating slowly. Alternatively, bake in the oven in a meatloaf shape for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, at 325 degrees F.

It should be a bit dry.

Probably for the same reason that people are intent on making their own curries - they enjoy it and find it satisfying!

what CA said. seems odd to be dismissing the idea of re-creating takeway (and restaurant) food on a site that is quite devoted to it.

I don't know if this is any good from the Hairy Bikers cooking series.

If you google Donner Kebab recipes you get quite a few hits.

i was mooching around my fav store and was amazed to find donar sticks in the freezer (the size u see in the kebab shops).

not a bad price either - there were 2 off sizes (i think a 10kg & 15kg) priced at something like 25? & 35?.

the only drawback being the cooking instructions (at 300C - would an electric grill do it?) and whether u could slice off from frozen.
