I am going to admit I am not a doner kebab person at all, in fact, I don’t think I have ever had one – I have tried a little, but I was veggie for 14 years, but all the men of the house LOVE them. So I decided to have a go at making our own fakeaway slow cooker doner kebab. I had seen lots of recipes for slow cooker meatloaves made from beef mince, so knew that it would be pretty OK, what I wasn’t prepared for was just how much the family enjoyed it. I can now promise you that this will be the only Lamb Kebab Recipe you need.

I knew that you could make doner kebab in the slow cooker as Cass from Frugal Family had done it in the past, but me being me I had to adapt it as I didn’t have everything she used in my cupboard!
Fakeaway slow cooker doner kebab
Ingredients

- 500g lamb mince
- 1.5 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1.5 tsp garlic powder (not garlic salt)
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp mixed herbs
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- Pitta breads – we use Mortgage Free in 3’s recipe and always have
- Salad

Method for Fakeaway slow cooker doner kebab
Put all your herbs and spices into a pestle and mortar and give them a good pounding.

Place your lamb mince into a large bowl and sprinkle on the herbs and spices.

Mix thoroughly with your hands until all the ingredients are combined. Now you need to shape your meat into a loaf shape.

Really compress the meat hard as you want it to form into a sliceable block.

I placed mine directly onto the bottom of the pan and it was fine, although some people suggest wrapping it in tin foil or even placing it on onions.

Place in a slow cooker on high for 3-4 hours or low for 7 hours. Remove and allow to rest for 10-20 minutes before slicing as thinly as possible. I have heard that you can achieve super thin slices of lamb kebab with a vegetable peeler.

As quick as I could slice it, Maxi was pinching it!

Serve in pitta breads with salad.

As you can see they get the Maxi seal of approval! But they don’t just get the seal of approval from my family. I receive more comments on this recipe than any other and people love it.
This is the perfect Lamb Kebab Recipe

There was enough meat to make 10 kebabs (we had a friend over for dinner) and Maxi commented that he thought it was nicer than shop-bought. Money wise, it is AMAZING value and I am happy making it as I am aware of just what is in it.

LOVE it! We love a cheeky done kebab in this house and I adore my slow cooker – it’;s a win-win and now I know what we’re having for tea next week!!
I love pretty much anything in a pitta bread, so I should probably give this a try!
I didn’t realise slow cooker could be used to make these. What a great idea.
I’ve never a had a kebab in any form. Perhaps now is the time to try one!
It looks great. But after the holidays should definitely not eat it! I’ll wait until next Christmas 🙂
This looks delicious. Never thought of making a doner kebab at home
Yours looks so much nicer than mine lovely lady – I’m coming for tea next time you have this 😉
Oh my goodness! This looks amazing, dare I say it I love a kebab so I am definitely going to try this. Brilliant!
This looks so good. I think I will try it, I need to get my slow cooker back out again!
I’m always looking for new slow cooker recipes and this looks like something that would be a hit in our house! Thanks for the idea, will try it our next week 🙂
I am definitely going to give these a go. They look amazing – I’m not a donner kebab fan but I know one or two who are! 🙂
Wish my husband loved lamb as I would be making these tomorrow. I love my slow cooker
I’m going to have to give this a go – I don’t have them often but I do love a kebab!
Wow Jen, that looks REALLY lovely! My son would adore it!
Oh what a great idea! I’m constantly looking for new ideas for family food, and mine would love this! Plus, being made in the slow cooker, I imagine the flavour and tenderness would be amazing. Definitely going to try this next weekend.
We made this at the weekend and it was really tasty. All the kids ate it and enjoyed xx
Wow!! Thank you so much! I made this tonight for my mum, thinking it probably would not be as good as the ‘real thing’ but i was totally wrong! This was better than a shop kebab by miles!! Amazing! Thank you!😃
Thank you for the feedback – it always makes me happy when people enjoy my receipes.
fantastic recipe! I will prepare it for my family. Thanks for the share.
It’s a shame you’ve got so many ads popping up on what is otherwise a really nice site. I gave up trying to read the recipe in the end cos I couldn’t see it properly because of all your pop ups
Sorry, you feel like that Kim. I have ad’s on my site so that I can pay my bills and hosting costs.
