Ninja Woodfire Doner Kebab
Ingredients
For the Lamb Kebab:
Instructions
-
Blend for Smoothness:
Combine all the ingredients in a food processor. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth paste, ensuring all spices are evenly incorporated.
-
Shape & Marinate:
Form the lamb mixture into a cylindrical log. Wrap tightly in foil and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavours to develop.
-
Pre-Cooking Prep:
Remove the log from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes while still wrapped in foil. This step ensures even cooking.
-
Bake:
Preheat the Ninja Woodfire to Bake mode at 150°C. Place the foil-wrapped log directly onto the grill or cooking tray and bake until the internal temperature reaches 70°C, approximately 40 minutes.
-
Roast for Colour:
Increase the Woodfire temperature to 220°C. Remove the lamb from the foil and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to achieve a rich, golden crust.
-
Slice and Sear:
Stand the kebab upright and slice thin strips off the log. Heat a flat plate or griddle on high and toss the strips quickly to add colour and texture.
-
Serve:
Toast flatbreads lightly, load them with the sliced lamb, and top with your favourite salad and kebab sauces. Serve immediately.
