2 tablespoons milk
1 large onion, pureed
10-12 springs fresh thyme, leaves picked
1/2 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1/2 tablespoon salt
A pinch of black pepper
1-2 tablespoons butter
German Turkish way,
2 döner breads, halved (Check the link for the recipe, • Turkish Buttered Pide ... )
1 red onion, sliced into semicircles
Half of a small lettuce, thinly sliced
Half of a small red cabbage, thinly sliced
1 carrot, grated
2 pickled cucumbers, sliced
Red Sauce
2 tablespoon yoghurt or labneh
1 tablespoon hot pepper paste
A pinch of salt
A pinch of black pepper
A pinch of red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon ginger puree
White Sauce
4 tablespoon yogurt or labneh
2 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 small cucumber, chopped
3-4 sprigs of dill, chopped
4 cloves of garlic, pureed
1 teaspoon salt
Çoban Salad (Shepherds Salad)
1 tomato, diced
1 small cucumber, diced
1 thin green pepper, diced
6-8 sprigs of parsley, chopped
½ of a lemon’s juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
Turkish way,
2 döner breads, halved (Recipe: • Turkish Buttered Pide ... )
3 pickled cucumbers, sliced
2 tomatoes, sliced
Potato fries
Onion sumac salad
1 onion, sliced into semicircles
6-8 sprigs of parsley, chopped
A teaspoon ground sumac
2 tablespoon olive oil
• 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!

[@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?

[@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

@@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.

God i love your videos so much! I’m about a third turkish but know nothing about my heritage, so recreating my ancestor’s cuisine helps me to reconnect with my people’s history very much. EDIT: just made the traditional turkish one for luch, with home baked pitas, and it was fantastoc, my whole family loved it. Thank you so much!

[@ericneil4100]

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! Blessings from the beautiful coast of North Carolina USA

*Max Respect For Turkey!* 🇹🇷 Girl, I got tired of you asking what toppings he wanted. I was inwardly screaming at the man, "Why don't you just say *THE WHOLE WORKS!!!"* *:-)*

Wow this is so incredible, I've been such a fan of Turkish cuisine for so long and now I can finally try it at home!!

[@greatboniwanker]

I can't imagine *not crying* while scraping a whole onion through a strainer! A natural antibiotic, you say? Wow! Burak bread, yes, please!

[@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!

[@sparkles1260]

Thank you so much for posting this video - I will try this out in a few days …..it looks so yummy!

[@sarahcouch7874]

I've made this recipe many times this summer! I put the mince mix on sticks and freeze them on parchment paper. Then when its suppertime, I just pull out as many sticks as the family will eat and fry or grill them. Delicious and easy weeknight food!

[@masaoogawa8488]

Hello, just found you via “Alex”, and I like a lot such warm family atmosphere of all your videos!! Sure I’d love to see Mr. Burak making bread for Donër, too. Greeting from Japan. What’s Ayran by the way??

[@Refika]

it is so great to hear 😍😍 and so happy that you like what we try to share.. Ayran is a traditional drink which we make with mixing yogurt, water and a bit salt to taste.. very fresh and healthy as well 👌

[@scoobybopbop]

[@harbingeractual9699]

Thank you for making these videos. They bring back great memories of my Turkish friend, Pishta, when I was in the Circus. Now I can learn to cook some of the great foods he used to make.

[@leighwatkins17]
