Doner Kebab
FoodAbout
Doner kebab is a classic Turkish dish made from lamb or beef, cooked on a vertical rotisserie. The meat is stacked in a cone shape and slowly rotated next to a heat source, allowing it to self-baste in its juices. This method creates a juicy interior and a crispy exterior. Traditionally, doner kebab originated in the Ottoman Empire and is often associated with the city of Bursa in modern-day Turkey. The dish gained global popularity when Turkish immigrants introduced it to Europe, particularly in Germany, where it became a popular fast food item. Doner kebab is typically served in a sandwich form, wrapped in pita bread with vegetables like lettuce, tomato, and onion, and topped with sauces such as garlic yogurt or chili sauce. Its versatility allows it to be enjoyed in various ways, from traditional plates with rice to modern wraps and bowls.
