This past summer I got to spend 2 months in Vienna, Austria on a study abroad program! I was lucky enough to share this experience with 20 other peers of mine. We experienced many life-changing experiences while abroad, but oh boy, was that Dönerdürum the most amazing after a long night out!
This is a Turkish dish, which has been brought over from their homeland. It is similar to a greek-style dish, but has its own distinct Turkish flair. I would give anything to have this dish again, so I looked up a recipe to make it myself!
I thought I should share:
Döner Dürüm
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. ground lamb (or 1/2 lb. each of ground lamb and ground beef)
- 1 egg
- 4 cloves garlic (peeled and finely minced)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 rounds of pita wraps
- 1 cup assorted lettuce
- 1 large tomato (sliced)
- 1/2 seedless English cucumber (sliced)
- 1/4 large red onion (peeled and sliced)
- Tzatziki sauce or tahini sauce
Steps
-
Pre-heat the oven to 350 F.
-
In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, egg, garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
-
Place the mixture into a loaf pan and cook in the oven for approximately 30 minutes or until the top is a light golden brown.
-
You can slice the loaf immediately if you like but, for best results, cool completely, wrap in aluminum foil, and refrigerate until firm.
-
To re-heat, add a little olive oil to a large skillet, slice the loaf very thinly and crisp up the slices in the hot pan for a few minutes.
-
Assemble the sandwiches with the vegetables and sauce.
