Why this recipe works

Make a döner plate at home with juicy meat

The most important step is the marinade: yoghurt makes the meat more tender, paprika, cumin, garlic and tomato paste bring the typical seasoning. Roasted in small portions at high heat so that roasted aromas are produced. Fresh side dishes and sauce make up the seasoning.

Recipe

Döner kebab plate

At home, a Döner plate succeeds with well seasoned meat, hot pan, fresh salad, rice or flatbread and a garlic yoghurt sauce. So it becomes aromatic instead of dry.

Ingredients

4 servings

Method

  1. 1

    Marinate meat

    Cut the meat into thin strips. Mix with the yoghurt, olive oil, tomato paste, garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper, then marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare Side dishes

    Prepare rice, fries or flat bread. Cut lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and red onion.

  3. 3

    Mix sauce

    Mix yoghurt with lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper and, if desired, some pul biber.

  4. 4

    Roast meat hot

    Heat a frying pan strongly. Fry meat in proportion for 4 to 5 minutes, so that roasted aromas are produced and nothing waters.

  5. 5

    Set up a plate

    Serve with side dish, salad and sauce. Serve immediately as long as the meat is hot and the side dishes are fresh.

Kitchen know-how

Tips for Döner kebab plate

Let the marinade work

Already 30 minutes marinating time improve taste and texture. Even better is a night in the fridge.

Roast portions

Too much meat at once cools the pan. Then it boils in its own juice instead of tanning.

Keep the sauce fresh

Season the yoghurt sauce just before eating so that garlic and lemon remain clear.

Variations

How to adapt this recipe

Chicken breast works, but should be fried shorter. Top legs remain juicyer.

Instead of rice or fries, cut warm flat bread into pieces and serve with meat, salad and sauce.
