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.

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 am thrilled that you have an English page now Refika! (finally) as a proud Turk we can finally share with our foreign friends our wonderful traditional recipes! Perfect simple explaining, very warm and sincere! By the way, Turkish Turkish way rocks 💪

Hello komsu! I'm dying right now from the saliva running in my mouth! Love your energy and presence. I think I'l spend the rest of the day thinking of this doner. Definitely going to try this recipe and your interpretation of sucuk . Love from Bulgaria!

You saved me in so many ways. I have always loved a real good Döner Kebab back in Germany. Then, I moved to Mexico and have lived here ever since. My husband stumbled over one of your videos (because he is a fan of Alex, the french guy) So, he showed me this video and the next day you had me in my kitchen preparing the minced meat. What can I say? The outcome was like angels singing over my shoulder. Just made another batch and keeping it in the freezer for whenever I need a good Doner Kebab. THANK YOU Refika! I love this channel

i followed freezing then pan fry the meat in butter.....wow! i made this for my family (5x so far) and we enjoy it tremendously. i finally let my best friend try it recently; tastes like our favorite doner restaurant....best compliment (to me). THANK YOU for this video.

This was absolutely fantastic. We don't have a large middle-eastern/greek/turkish restaurant scene here, so it's difficult to get good kebab/gyro food. The texture of the meat was exactly what I wanted, and have been trying to replicate at home for 20 years. Thank you so much, Refika.

I can’t sleep and saw this. Now I’m so hungry and can’t sleep. Only found you yesterday and think you’re fab. Your love of food and joie de vivre floods through the screen. Truly a excellent and encouraging.

I love such chefs who simply put anything in their mouth while working in the kitchen. It shows how much you love your job.

What an amazing idea and so simple, can't wait to make it. Thank you Refika!

I’m in love! U made the most sense. Omg, I’ve researched this forever and was going to my fall back, tacos. Omg u helped me sooooo much. Thank u!

Hi Refika! I made your kebabs today- ate them about 10 minutes ago. Ahhhh!!!They were absolutely delicious! I kind of did a mix of German and Turkish style on the toppings and two amazing things happened- 1. I made onion the Turkish way- for the first time in my life I have just eaten a whole small raw onion!!! 2. From your Adana kebabs...I tried preparing my bread in that butter water trick- again superb!! I had to use gluten free ciabatta rolls and your method made them lovely and juicy- perfect for the doner meat! Thank you so much for your inspiration xxxx

Both ways look delicious, can’t wait to try.

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!

I made this. It's SO amazing! Thank you for bringing this to us.

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".

I made this for my family last night... I made 2 types, chicken and beef. Got a blister from slicing the frozen meat! The fam said it was worth my blister :) I made both sauces and slaws(?)

I would love to see a recipe book some day!! Thank you for sharing your heritage with us!! I've enjoyed learning new and simple techniques!

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!

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.

Yummy was right! Can't wait to try this myself.

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

• 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!
