Takeaway Doner Kebab Spice Mix 100g Gyro, Shawarma - (1kg Batch)

Love this seasoning.

This really is a case of "It does what it says on the tin". Admittedly, I've only used it once as it only arrived today, but the strongest critics (the teenage kids) said the resultant kebab was almost identical to the kebab shop!I was apprehensive when I first looked at the pack because it did resemble breadcrumbs/rusk (like other reviewers have said), and didn't particularly give any indication in the smell before using them.I used the following ingredients1.5Kg of minced lamb200g kebab spice mix (this item)200ml water1 teaspoon of saltRather than just mixing together in a bowl (like you would when making burgers), I placed all the ingredients in a food mixer and blitzed it until it has completely emulsified (another reviewer recommended this to get the right texture once cooked). The consistency was like a sticky smooth sausage meat.I formed a large kebab shape on lightly oiled foil, then wrapped the foil right around it, twisting each end to seal. I cooked for 45mins at 170C (fan), then opened the parcel, and gave it another 15 mins to get a bit of a crust.I then stuck a rotisserie skewer through it and while holding vertically in a deep dish, shaved thin slices off, just like in a kebab shop. My intention was to keep putting it back in the oven to get another crispy skin, but to be honest, we couldn't wait, so just sliced it all from the spit.The texture was identical to a takeaway shop, and to be fair, if I'd been served that meat from the shop, I wouldn't have known it was home made, it tasted pretty much identical!Overall, pretty damn impressed!

Was sceptical but once it started cooking the smell told me I was into a winner

I thought I had reviewed this before, surprised I haven't as it really is that good. Reading some of the the rereviews of people saying it makes your lamb taste just like Donners you buy from a kebab shop in the UK. I would disagree. To me has FAR more flavor to it. The ones I make at home now, because of this product, are so much more tastier than those from a kebab shop. For anyone that has been to NewYork and had one of the Lamb gyros from one of the little street carts, this product will make your meat taste more like one of those than our donners.

I was a bit skeptical even after seeing the comments, but this is really good. I bought 250g and used it all with 2kg of minced lamb. It tasted better than my local takeaway by quite a margin. Minced lamb is quite airy, so I recommend mixing the lamb and seasoning in a food processor or mixer to make a denser doner meat. This is a really good mix and I will be buying it again.

Was a bit sceptical at first but gave it a go.It was really beautiful a lovely spices mix made wonderful lamb kebab. It was better than take away because it was not all greasy. I used lean lamb mince and blended down added the water and the mix. I formed it and left in fridge for couple of hours. I put them on skewers and stood them in the oven the fat ran out and they were delicious. I would recommend it's easy and very tasty

Ordered the 100g as a taster and it was really tasty so took the plunge and ordered the 1kg bag...nowhere near the same taste the 100g had a powder consistency but the 1kg bag was made up of large granules not sure why this would affect taste but its definitely tastes bland compared to the 100g won't be buying again

If you like a donor kebab then this is the spice for you. Tastes just like your favorite friday night takeaway but with you knowing exactly what is going into it.......Make sure to follow the directions, adding the water (seemed at first to be quite a lot) and letting sit overnight is absolutely the right way to go, rush this process and it will taste as good as it could.I will definitely be re-purchasing once I've run out.
