Homemade Doner Kebab Meat. After doing much research in how chip shop kebab meat is made, i found that very rarely is a kebab actually lamb. So with that in mind i made a 50% lamb 50% beef kebab. Which in the end gave a very good flavour and if it was cooked on a spit, would be as good as if not better then a chip shop version.
What you need to make 1kg of kebab as shown in my photos.
- 500g Lamb Mince 20% Fat (I used ALDI’s)
- 500g Beef Mince 20% Fat (I used Tesco’s)
- 100g Tongmaster Doner Kebab Seasoning.
What i did first was mix the lamb and beef mince in a bowl just to get them mixed up a little, then added the 100g of seasonings and mixed till it was all used up and a smooth paste. This took a while as the ratio of seasoning to mince is 1/10. But at the end you should have mince that looks like this.
Now i needed to put the mixture into a loaf tin that would fit, i got one from Poundland which as you can see was the perfect size. So if you don’t have one get down the £1 shop 🙂
Now i popped it in the oven for 25 mins @ 180c, once 25 mins was up i turned it out of the tin, wrapped in foil and placed it onto a baking tray for a further 20 mins again at 180c.
Once out the oven leave for 10-15 minutes to rest then sliced as thin as possible.
Finally you can serve, i served a few slices in a wholemeal wrap with loads of salad to keep to calories down. However you can see from the photo at the top the classic pitta also works very well.
It had a mild-medium spice and was enjoyed all around.

Tongmaster Burger Seasonings Review
Tongmaster Seasonings Discount Code at the bottom of this post.
I came across tongmaster recently while looking at videos and guides on how to make your own burgers. After ordering just some burger discs, I was just too tempted by the customer service to order some seasonings.

Without the ability to wait i had to get started i decided to just try out the burger mixes. I had already purchased 500g of standard 80/20 mince in anticipation.
The packet only tells you instructions for using all the 250g of mix at once so after some calculations i came up with the following which i think would be suitable for all the complete burger mixes.
Tip: If you are going against the manufacture guidelines and not using the whole pack as i did. Be sure to give the pack a good mix to blend all the flavors back together, if you don’t you may end up with a poor burger. To do this i placed them in a large sandwich bag and give them a good shake.
It was strange weighing water but was easy enough with digital kitchen scales and if you don’t 1ml of water should weigh 1g at sea level. As i only had 500g of mince to do both i went for the 12g of mix option making a 240g once everything was added. It was easy to mix although i did use food safe gloves (also from Tongmaster on eBay) to to save getting it all under my nails.
Tip: It’s advised to use iced water, i simply weighed the water then used those plastic ice cubs that dont melt to cool the water down for a while, It worked well :D.
Once all mixed i weighed out 80g of mixture placed it between 2 cellophane burger discs and used a cheap hand press (£6 Asda uniflame bbq section) to press them out. I found that the added rusk and water made the bind really well making a stronger patty. Into the fridge they went, 30 mins minimum, but the longer the better.
After many past experiments i have learnt that 80-85g is a good weight for burgers, everyone seems to go for the good old 1/4 pounder but i think that’s overkill for a home burger. The choice is yours. My chart above shows how many 80g burgers can be made from each mix (rounded up).
Tip: Cook straight from chilled, this helps the burger keeps its shape.
After tasting both i can say they are a vast improvement on just salt+pepper and the Herb & Sundried tomato one is my best from the 2 mixes i tried.
Ill follow up shortly with a review of the glazes and the doner mix.
NOTE: This review was funded by myself, in no way was a sponsor received from the manufacture. Just a good honest review.
