As it says under "Subject", I have been unable to find a recipe for
Authentic Turkish Doner Kebab. It's made exclusively with lamb'
Gabriel
Hello Gabriel,
Below are two recipes for Turkish Doner Kebab.
Phaed
Doner Kebab
Turkish Recipe
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.

Hello c.i.,
I found one recipe. See below.
Phaed
Homemade Frankfurters (Hot Dogs)
Ingredients
3 feet sheep or small (1-1/2-inch diameter) hog casings
1 pound lean pork, cubed
3/4 pound lean beef, cubed
1/4 pound pork fat, cubed
1/4 cup very finely minced onion
1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon finely ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard seed
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon freshly fine ground white pepper
1 egg white
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 cup milk
Instructions
Prepare the casings (see instructions below). In a blender or
food processor, make a puree of the onion, garlic, coriander,
marjoram, mace, mustard seed, and paprika. Add the pepper,
egg white, sugar, salt, and milk and mix thoroughly. Grind the
pork, beef, and fat cubes through the fine blade separately.
Mix together and grind again. Mix the seasonings into the meat
mixture with your hands. This tends to be a sticky procedure,
so wet your hands with cold water first.
Chill the mixture for half and hour then put the mixture thorough
the fine blade of the grinder once more. Stuff the casings and
twist them off into six-inch links. Parboil the links (without
separating them) in gently simmering water for 20 minutes. Place
the franks in a bowl of ice water and chill thoroughly. Remove,
pat dry, and refrigerate. Because they are precooked, they can be
refrigerated for up to a week or they can be frozen.
Preparing the Casing
Snip off about four feet of casing. (Better too much than too
little because any extra can be repacked in salt and used later.)
Rinse the casing under cool running water to remove any salt
clinging to it. Place it in a bowl of cool water and let it soak
for about half an hour. While you're waiting for the casing to soak,
you can begin preparing the meat as detailed below. After soaking,
rinse the casing under cool running water. Slip one end of the casing
over the faucet nozzle. Hold the casing firmly on the nozzle, and
then turn on the cold water, gently at first, and then more forcefully.
This procedure will flush out any salt in the casing and pinpoint any
breaks. Should you find a break, simply snip out a small section of
the casing. Place the casing in a bowl of water and add a splash of
white vinegar. A tablespoon of vinegar per cup of water is sufficient.
The vinegar softens the casing a bit more and makes it more transparent,
which in turn makes your sausage more pleasing to the eye. Leave the
casing in the water/vinegar solution until you are ready to use it.
Rinse it well and drain before stuffing.
