The doner is a Turkish creation of meat, often lamb, but not necessarily so, that is seasoned, stacked in a cone shape, and cooked slowly on a vertical rotisserie. As the outer layers of the meat cooks, it’s shaved off and served in a pita or other flatbread with vegetables and sauce. Doner is the « mother, » as it were, of Arabic shawarma, Mexican al pastor, and the popular Greek gyros.

Although the sliced meat can be served on a platter with rice and cooked vegetables, it’s most popular as a sandwich eaten as fast street food. You might find tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, red onion, cucumbers, or pickles inside the pita, and the sauce might be Greek yogurt-based tzatziki or Middle Eastern tahini.
Making an authentic doner kebab at home can be a bit tricky although still possible if you have the set up for a slow cooking vertical rotating spit. For most home kitchens, however, some improvisation will be required. But the flavors and spices will be easier to recreate than the exact shape. You can form ground lamb into balls and thread them on skewers, but the easiest way to get the sliced look of a street doner kebab is to make a sort of meatloaf.

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).Leaving them attached, place the 8 hot dog buns in a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33-cm) baking dish.

Step 2

Cut a rectangle in each hot dog bun, making sure to stay 1 centimeter from the edges. Push down on the bread cut-out to compact it tightly into the bottom of each bun, making sure to press down on the bottom edges as well.

Step 3

This will help create a larger space for the fillings and reduce mess. Mix the butter, garlic, and parsley in a small bowl, then brush the buns and their hollowed insides with the garlic butter.

Step 4

Bake for 5 minutes to toast the buns as well as help the sides of the buns firm up so they don’t collapse under the weight of the fillings. Place a slice of cheddar cheese inside each bun, then spoon a bit of chili inside each one.

Step 5

Slide a hot dog snugly on top of the chili in each bun, then top with more chili. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown and the chili has started to brown.

Step 6

Top with fresh parsley, then slice the hot dog boats along their connected seams to serve.
