lamb

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: pork

Chicken is leaner and often less expensive than lamb.

yogurt

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt offers similar creaminess with fewer calories.

pita bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain wrap

💰Cheaper: flatbread

Whole grain wraps provide more fiber.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is healthier.

Grate the onions to create a puree and strain them to avoid excess moisture.

In a mixing bowl, combine the strained onions, yogurt, salt, black pepper, and zatar to create the marinade.

Slice the beef and lamb into thin pieces, aiming for a ratio of 60% beef to 40% lamb.

Layer the beef and lamb in a Tupperware, spreading the marinade between each layer like a meat lasagna.

Cover the Tupperware and let the meat marinate in the fridge for at least 24 hours.

After marinating, place the Tupperware in the freezer for at least 2 hours to firm up the meat.

Remove the frozen meatloaf from the freezer and slice it into döner-style pieces.

Heat a frying pan and add lamb fat to it for frying the meat slices.

Slice onions thinly to serve with the döner kebab.

Fry the sliced meat in the pan until cooked, adjusting the thickness for desired crispiness and juiciness.
