[@ProfessorJones7]

Last time I made this, I had a really hard time getting proper slices from the frozen doner. So I thought about another technique : put the fresh meat preparation between two pieces of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to make it as thin as you want it to be. Then freeze the meat with the paper. It then becomes super easy to cut strips from it, and you can even make long ones.

[@crazyg74]

great idea! I guess you can stack multiple layers with paper in between. I will try this soon! 🙂

[@Maria-ol4rm]

What if you freeze it half way, cut strips, put them in a ziplock and throw them back in the freezer?

Hi Refika. Greetings from Canada. Yesterday I prepared your doner kebab, your chicken doner, your red pepper paste and yogourt sauce home. I cooked the doners today and it was a hit in my family. My mom and husband ask me to keep it on the family menu. Thank you so much for this beautiful food and amazing taste. Keep the recipes coming. Wishing you much success and good health from my family.

I definitely prefer the Turkish way. I lived in Turkey 1988-1990 and then I lived in Germany for many years. I retired in Belgium and there's just no comparison. Turkish way is the best. Afietosun....(pretty sure I spelled that wrong).

In the Middle East, tahini (sesame paste) is often used in the sauce. I like the Middle Eastern shawerma more than the variations I have tried in Europe ... I have not been to Turkey, but I think I will enjoy the Turkish shawerma when / if I visit Turkey sometime ...

[@Refika]

• To make the döner, mix all of the ingredients, except onion, in a bowl. • Sieve the onion juice on the mixture and knead until the mixture is homogenous. • Rest the mixture in the fridge for a day. • Wrap the mixture in a baking paper and squeeze from both ends to give it a log shape. Transfer to your freezer and let it freeze (You can keep it in the freezer for up to 6 months and use whenever you want.). • When it is time to cook, take out the frozen döner let it sit for 5 minutes. • Carefully, cut thin slices (as thin as you can). Don’t try to slice all the mixture at once, work in batches. You can prepare each portion at a time so you can cook the slices before they are thawed (you can deepfreeze the rest of the döner again for later. Don’t place it in the freezer if it is thawed). • Heat a large frying pan on medium heat and melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter. • Place the doner slices on the hot pan and cook both sides until they are browned. Don’t try to flip before one side is cooked. • Cook rest of the slices with the rest of the butter. To make the German Turkish way döner sandwich, • For the red sauce, mix all the ingredients and give it a good mix. • For the white sauce, mix all the ingredients and give it a good mix. • Rub the red cabbage slices with a pinch of salt and a teaspoon vinegar and set aside. • For the çoban salad, mix all the ingredients and add salt to your taste. • To build the sandwich, spread the red sauce to the bottom half of the bread. Place cooked döner on the red sauce, çoban salad, red onion, red cabbage, pickled cucumber, lettuce and red cabbage. Put some white sauce, place the other half on top and gently press together. Prepare yourself for the festival in your mouth at the first bite! To make the Turkish way döner sandwich, • To make the onion sumac salad; rub the onions with a pinch of salt and mix with the rest of the ingredients. • Press the bread halves into the pan to let it soak all the buttery flavour. • Place the döner, onion sumac salad, pickled cucumber, tomatoes and fried potatoes (or have it as a side dish) and place the bread top . Enjoy your Turkish döner sandwich!

[@TheSwedishRider]

Where have you been in Germany? As a German I have to agree that traditional German food is often bland. I remember that never had many spices except salt, pepper and maybe some bell pepper powder. Foreign restaurants often spice down their food to accommodate German taste, but it is getting better, especially in bigger cities. It often helps to order "original spicy, please".

[@d.7416]

Maybe you havent eaten the right german dishes? We have a great cuisine in Germany

[@Misstressofdons]

@@d.7416 The food is lovely, but it is also bland. German food is stodgy, comforting and salty - all delicious things, but it doesn't have much depth. It's bland food, like British food.

Bread videos, yes please! Awesome recipe, awesome channel, greetings from Lithuania!

[@dr.stacey7283]

I made this!!! The Turkish way of course ❤️ So delicious!! Thank you for a recipe to make this at home. I made a mild tzatziki sauce with lots of mint in it and the mint went so well with the super rich taste of the meat. Even though it was a little hard to find, sumac is a must! (I found it at my local Middle Eastern Mart). I’ve never used it before and it adds such and interesting and beautiful flavor. I didn’t make the bread, but found Lavash bread at my local grocery store and it was perfect. The butter is a must for cooking the meat do give it the richness. Oh, and when you take the meat out of the freezer, let it sit for 15 minutes before you try and slice it. So much easier that way. Again, thank you for a fun and delicious recipe. During these times when we’re staying close to home, not only are your videos a joy to watch, but your recipes are giving us something to really look forward to!

I'm so glad I found your video. In Canada, we have something called "Donair" which is a "Canadian-ized" version on this recipe. It's usually (or ideally) cooked on a vertical rotary spit, but can be done as a loaf in the oven. Your technique of freezing the meat mixture is brilliant for "on the spot" Donairs! We also use a sweet garlic sauce made from Evaporated Milk, sugar, garlic and white vinegar to thicken it. Usual fixings are onion and tomato. Thanks so much for sharing this method!

This brings back such amazing memories of living in Germany 😭 I cannot wait to make this for my family. They are going to flip! 🥰

[@rbhavnagri]

I love the easy way you make Doner Kebab. Both versions are very appetizing. I also love the way you give the glimpse of beautiful Istambul. Love your show.

[@tamra9396]

You are a Godsend! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You rock! I can't wait to try. Yes, Barak show your bread recipe. Looks AMAZING!

[@eminaovac9042]

All in all, I love your channel! I'm so happy and annoyed at the same time, I wish I knew about it before I went to Istanbul, we could literally see you from our balcony of the apartment we were staying at! but I'm so glad I've found your channel your food looks amazing and I cant wait to try and make it for my family xx

[@saiful46]

Sharing this doner w/ my loved ones? Yeah right! If I could get my hands on one of these right now, I'd pretend not to know them until I am done eating :).

[@sabanapatel1]

Refika I prepared this a few days ago and cooked it today. Looks just like the takeaway version and tastes even better. I can't believe how easy it was! I definitely prefer the Turkish way.

[@jasonrowley9976]

it looks so nice i will definatley be trying to cook this, love from UK

[@unidadPerez]

When the quarantine ends I'm doing this.... or when I have to go shopping I need to try it

[@monkeytron5061]

Oh the freezing trick is so brilliant! Of course! I’m definitely trying this.

[@khalidazhar101]

Amazing , I am going to get the ingredients together and attempting this, it seems so easy.

[@Sarah3613]

Looks so good. I can't believe I never thought to do this before. I would love the bread recipe too. Is it similar to Ramadan pide? Just shaped differently- sorta looks the same.

[@christinecollins420]

Amazing! And your aerial photograph is like a tourism add for Turkey!

[@teri3838]

Thank you Refika!!! Your donair recipe is so easy to make except for the cutting of the frozen meat part ;). I love how passionate you are about food and your personality shines with fun and positivity with your team!!! Lots of love from Canada

[@Padraigp]

Sometimes when I have frozen meat in a lump i will cook it frozen and then cut the cooked bit and so on a bit like slicing the donar as it gets cripsy on the outside. I do this because I am too lazy to wait for defrosting but I think it would work with this!!! Just fry cut fry cut as you go till you have a middle bit ...

[@MrLGDUK]

Please get Burak in to make breads!! This is so amazing! This recipe has my mouth watering and I'm craving doner kebab like crazy!! Awesome video x

[@yannah159]

My 4 year old loved the seasoning for the meat!!!! I’m so excited to use the seasonings again but for a burger!!! I loved it as well!!!! ❤❤❤ THANK YOU from Texas!

[@reya1295]

I am really enjoying your channel “çok güzel”. When I was in Turkey one of my favorite dish is gözleme.. Can you post a recipe?

[@BillyElf]

I’ve become an instant fan. I didn’t know about the Turkish style. When I’m in Germany this almost is the only food I have for lunch. Thanks for this awesome cooking video. 😋

[@danecory1236]

This is incredible! Doner is in my top three favorite foods. I personally got introduced to it at a Turkish restaurant called Sahara in NYC that served it over rice with pickled red cabbage, onions and a grilled spicy pepper. Heaven!

[@DopeyIan88]

Tried this recipe and loved it! 💕 tastes amazing and it’s really quick and easy to throw together. Tried it with lamb and beef mince and love both. Thank you Refika
