minutes
Cooking time

6

hours 

Ingredients

  • 500g lamb mince (can use beef)

  • 1 egg

  • 1 tsp oregano

  • 1 tsp mixed herbs

  • 2 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1 tsp chilli powder (more if you like spicy)

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon veg oil

Directions

  • Throw all ingredients in a mixing bowl
  • Using your hands, ‘smush’ the ingredients together for 5-10 mins until you have a paste like consistency
  • Form the mixture into a big fat sausage and slap it to ensure no air bubbles are inside and mixture is compact.
  • Wrap in tinfoil and twist the ends to create a tight seal
  • Poke 2 tiny holes in bottom of tinfoil
  • Place your wrapped kebab in slow cooker on top of two tinfoil balls (or 2 halves of onion) and cook on high for 3 hours and low for 3 hours
  • Unwrap kebab and slice very thinly into slices (you can use a potato peeler or sharp knife)
  • Serve in pitta with salad and the obligatory chilli sauce

Notes

  • If you don’t have a slow cooker, simply bake in oven at 180C for 40-45 mins
