Introduce the recipe for homemade doner kebab.

Discuss the importance of using fatty meat for flavor.

Mention using a mixture of beef and pork, specifically pork belly for fattiness.

Advise using freezer cold meat that has been slightly defrosted for easier processing.

Suggest using half frozen or mostly frozen bacon or pork belly to help the food processor blend the meat.

Blend the meat with spices to create a meat paste.

Wrap the meat paste in baking paper and then foil, suggesting to use multiple layers of foil to keep juices in.

Use an air fryer accessory or skewers to hold the meat while cooking, ensuring it doesn't touch the bottom for better heat circulation.

Cook the meat through, but recommend not cooking it 100% to keep it juicy.

After cooking, unwrap the meat and let it cool before slicing it thinly.

Fry the sliced meat in a pan when ready to serve.

Serve with a garlic yogurt dip and pickles.
