Turkish way,
2 döner breads, halved (Recipe: • Turkish Buttered Pide ... )
3 pickled cucumbers, sliced
2 tomatoes, sliced
Potato fries
Onion sumac salad
1 onion, sliced into semicircles
6-8 sprigs of parsley, chopped

• To make the döner, mix all of the ingredients, except onion, in a bowl.
• Sieve the onion juice on the mixture and knead until the mixture is homogenous.
• Rest the mixture in the fridge for a day.
• Wrap the mixture in a baking paper and squeeze from both ends to give it a log shape. Transfer to your freezer and let it freeze (You can keep it in the freezer for up to 6 months and use whenever you want.).
• When it is time to cook, take out the frozen döner let it sit for 5 minutes.
• Carefully, cut thin slices (as thin as you can). Don’t try to slice all the mixture at once, work in batches. You can prepare each portion at a time so you can cook the slices before they are thawed (you can deepfreeze the rest of the döner again for later. Don’t place it in the freezer if it is thawed).
• Heat a large frying pan on medium heat and melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
• Place the doner slices on the hot pan and cook both sides until they are browned. Don’t try to flip before one side is cooked.
• Cook rest of the slices with the rest of the butter.
To make the German Turkish way döner sandwich,
• For the red sauce, mix all the ingredients and give it a good mix.
• For the white sauce, mix all the ingredients and give it a good mix.
• Rub the red cabbage slices with a pinch of salt and a teaspoon vinegar and set aside.
• For the çoban salad, mix all the ingredients and add salt to your taste.
• To build the sandwich, spread the red sauce to the bottom half of the bread. Place cooked döner on the red sauce, çoban salad, red onion, red cabbage, pickled cucumber, lettuce and red cabbage. Put some white sauce, place the other half on top and gently press together. Prepare yourself for the festival in your mouth at the first bite!
To make the Turkish way döner sandwich,
• To make the onion sumac salad; rub the onions with a pinch of salt and mix with the rest of the ingredients.
• Press the bread halves into the pan to let it soak all the buttery flavour.
• Place the döner, onion sumac salad, pickled cucumber, tomatoes and fried potatoes (or have it as a side dish) and place the bread top . Enjoy your Turkish döner sandwich!
I’m a simple man. I see a doner recipe. I click
Men of culture.
I am a simple woman. I see a doner recipe. I click. 🤣🤣🤣🤣👏
My wife lived in Turkey for 2 years and she will be excited when I make this for her!!! She introduced me to Sumac which I use if often! She misses the fresh Ekmek so I definitely want to see some bread recipes!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck even I am excited for u 😁
Kebab comes from germany not turkey,you will find better doner kebab in germany than in turkey
@@rover5058 funny joke. Doner kebab is turkish name. Its popular in germany because turks brought kebab culture to germany since 1961
P Scott is she turkish?
Veron Stop lying no german has created the döner it was a turkish men in turkey theres alot of döner also the word döner is turkish deal with the facts beacuse we turks are known to have good food and you?
Last time I made this, I had a really hard time getting proper slices from the frozen doner. So I thought about another technique : put the fresh meat preparation between two pieces of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to make it as thin as you want it to be. Then freeze the meat with the paper. It then becomes super easy to cut strips from it, and you can even make long ones.
great idea! I guess you can stack multiple layers with paper in between. I will try this soon! 🙂
What if you freeze it half way, cut strips, put them in a ziplock and throw them back in the freezer?
Thanks thats what i am going to do👍
Would a vegetable peeler work?
you , my friend, just recreated Steak Umms lol
I am thrilled that you have an English page now Refika! (finally) as a proud Turk we can finally share with our foreign friends our wonderful traditional recipes! Perfect simple explaining, very warm and sincere! By the way, Turkish Turkish way rocks 💪
Hello komsu! I'm dying right now from the saliva running in my mouth! Love your energy and presence. I think I'l spend the rest of the day thinking of this doner. Definitely going to try this recipe and your interpretation of sucuk . Love from Bulgaria!
tmi but nice
Yum yum
Wow tysm for the recipe
Komsuka obicam Bulgaria 🇧🇬 ❤💙💜
Freezing and shaving the ground beef in that manner to cook blew my mind. I've never before come across that method and cannot wait to try it for myself. Achievement unlocked. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it
cannot tell with words how we proud with Refika. She has dedicated herself to the good food, Turkish culture, and all kinds of humanitarian efforts from nature to human health. (For the ones who do not know; she did all after a huge career that she has left.)
Thanks for the info!
Yes. She's mentioned her career change and, as great as she may have been in her previous role she's doubly so on her channel. So inspirational and a wonderful teacher as she makes it all seem easy.
I cannot be agree more. I was actually thinking same thing while I was watching her fist English video. We are very proud of you and your team Refika!! Love you guys !! Keep up the good work !!
I did Google her and yes, she is an accomplished presenter in Turkey, and everything I've cooked from her recipes is amazing, and she is so much fun to watch and learn from as she explains everything along with a little history of the cuisine. Turkey is on my holiday list.
I definitely prefer the Turkish way. I lived in Turkey 1988-1990 and then I lived in Germany for many years. I retired in Belgium and there's just no comparison. Turkish way is the best. Afietosun....(pretty sure I spelled that wrong).
Afiyet olsun 🥰🤗
Pretty good spelling by the way
EarMode döner isnt german its turkish
In the Middle East, tahini (sesame paste) is often used in the sauce. I like the Middle Eastern shawerma more than the variations I have tried in Europe ... I have not been to Turkey, but I think I will enjoy the Turkish shawerma when / if I visit Turkey sometime ...
EarMode, I lived many years in Belgium. Never really liked the pitta (as they it there) which is the same recipe w Germany), but I, as well, love the original döner recipe! It’s more balanced
Gosh 🤤 I love so much Turkish people for two things: their cuisine and their hospitality 😃
Regards from Poland my sisters and brothers 🤗
Teşekür ederim arkadaşlar!
Hi there, I grew up with a Turkish family who are still in my life for 40 years. I miss the food. I’m from a Greek family and we use to eat at each other’s homes. I made this and it brought back beautiful memories. Thank you and greetings from Australia.
We are same people my friend.
Kalimera from belguim
Comments like these make me so emotional. What Refika is doing is so valuable, and her viewers are such kind people. Kalimera from İstanbul as well :)
You saved me in so many ways. I have always loved a real good Döner Kebab back in Germany. Then, I moved to Mexico and have lived here ever since. My husband stumbled over one of your videos (because he is a fan of Alex, the french guy) So, he showed me this video and the next day you had me in my kitchen preparing the minced meat. What can I say? The outcome was like angels singing over my shoulder. Just made another batch and keeping it in the freezer for whenever I need a good Doner Kebab. THANK YOU Refika! I love this channel
“Tons of different ways to make us cry...”🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant!
i followed freezing then pan fry the meat in butter.....wow! i made this for my family (5x so far) and we enjoy it tremendously. i finally let my best friend try it recently; tastes like our favorite doner restaurant....best compliment (to me). THANK YOU for this video.
How long did you fry it for?
A vote for a video on Burak’s bread!!!!
thank you for making these videos! I’ve been watching your videos for a long time with my Turkish husband and your sunny personality and talent shines through in both the Turkish and English versions :) a light in the current darkness. Be well!!!
Hi Refika. Greetings from Canada. Yesterday I prepared your doner kebab, your chicken doner, your red pepper paste and yogourt sauce home. I cooked the doners today and it was a hit in my family. My mom and husband ask me to keep it on the family menu. Thank you so much for this beautiful food and amazing taste. Keep the recipes coming. Wishing you much success and good health from my family.
THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH! I'm from Colombia and I lived in Germany for 6 months. I didn't enjoy German food because it didn't have flavor, according to my Latinamerican taste. When I found Turkish food I was the happiest man in earth.
Now that I'm back in Colombia, I do really miss Turkish food.
I'll definitely make it!
Glad I could help 😍😍
Where have you been in Germany? As a German I have to agree that traditional German food is often bland. I remember that never had many spices except salt, pepper and maybe some bell pepper powder. Foreign restaurants often spice down their food to accommodate German taste, but it is getting better, especially in bigger cities. It often helps to order "original spicy, please".
Maybe you havent eaten the right german dishes? We have a great cuisine in Germany
@@d.7416 The food is lovely, but it is also bland. German food is stodgy, comforting and salty - all delicious things, but it doesn't have much depth. It's bland food, like British food.
Thank you Refika. You're a charming and delightful presence and a comfort during these crazy times. I'm watching this right before I go to work at a supermarket (!). Stay safe.
stay safe 🙏
@@Refika good evening, can I use lamb mince instead of beef?
@@Refika what to use instead of milk and what did you do with the onion after the water from it went to the meat. Thank you. I'm a new subscriber. Thank you
@@fionamcintosh4814 i see no reason why you couldn't use lamb instead of beef. you might want to lessen the amount of butter in the pan since lamb is usually fattier than beef. for milk you could just sub in water. or if you have the yogurt, mix some yogurt and water together until it's the consistency of milk and use that.
@@jraaccounts thank you.🙏🏿
This is such a great recipe and cheap to make. I make it for my family in Scotland every week now.
Best RUclips channel for Turkish food - can watch you all night 😎
I've been to Istanbul twice. The first trip, I stayed at a nice hotel, and went to explore the streets and I tried doner for the first time. And that was all I wanted to have for breakfast, lunch and dinner!! My husband was like "Seriously? Doner again?" 🤣✌🤣 Thank you for showing us how to make Doner, absolutely gonna try your recipe soon!! I'm drooling!! 🤣🤣🤣
Hello from central-Texas, USA. We made this recipe (Turkish way) for dinner tonight. It was simply wonderful. My wife and I have been watching your videos and agree that they are informative, engaging, and well produced. Keep up the great work. I'm looking forward to many more videos from you and our fine crew.
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to try your recipe. We lived in Izmir while my husband (US Air Force) was stationed with NATO. We loved so many of the Turkish foods. Doner Kebab was our favorite. And I loved going to the spice market. Your country is beautiful.

Thank you for written recipe! And for including the bread!
Hi, Refika! What kind of meat is this? Can I use a beef minced meat? Greetings from Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina 🌸
Refika's Kitchen
Mk\k;
The bread recipe didn't work out for me 😔 it came out like rusk, very hard
I can’t sleep and saw this. Now I’m so hungry and can’t sleep. Only found you yesterday and think you’re fab. Your love of food and joie de vivre floods through the screen. Truly a excellent and encouraging.
ABSOLUTELY agree - love your energy, skill and willingness to share. I am inspired to try cooking your food.....thank you!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your recipes and your Channel! You are really good at what you do. Thank you so much! I live in the USA and I have been dreaming of visiting Turkey for many years. I am very fond of Turkish culture, traditions and food. Thanks again!
This was a revelation on 2 counts. 1 - Learning "Döner" means "To Turn", finally explaining "Gyro" to me, and 2 - just the whole mix, mold, freeze, slice, ground meats to cook to crispy perfection what usually has to sit and spin in front of the broilers. Yummy was right! Can't wait to try this myself.
Definetely would use some bread recipes! Great content, never heard about this way of preparing meat. Thanks, and keep it going!
You can also check our bread recipe 😊 hope you will like it

Ive been making doner kebabs at home for years, due to living in a remote part of scotland. Whilst I use a slightly different recipe, this freeze and slice method is a game changer :)
I made this!!! The Turkish way of course ❤️
So delicious!! Thank you for a recipe to make this at home.
I made a mild tzatziki sauce with lots of mint in it and the mint went so well with the super rich taste of the meat.
Even though it was a little hard to find, sumac is a must! (I found it at my local Middle Eastern Mart). I’ve never used it before and it adds such and interesting and beautiful flavor.
I didn’t make the bread, but found Lavash bread at my local grocery store and it was perfect.
The butter is a must for cooking the meat do give it the richness. Oh, and when you take the meat out of the freezer, let it sit for 15 minutes before you try and slice it. So much easier that way.
Again, thank you for a fun and delicious recipe. During these times when we’re staying close to home, not only are your videos a joy to watch, but your recipes are giving us something to really look forward to!
Blessings from the beautiful coast of North Carolina USA
Thanks for the good tips
Yes to Burak’s bread, please! And yes to Burak in general. (Such a cutie!) I’ve had döner in Turkey and Germany, gyros in Greece, and variations of both in the USA, but the döners in Turkey are the best by far. Love your channel!
Absolutely to Burak's Bread and he's cute.
Yes for more doners. Will be on my table shortly.
Haha
Hi Refika! I made your kebabs today- ate them about 10 minutes ago. Ahhhh!!!They were absolutely delicious! I kind of did a mix of German and Turkish style on the toppings and two amazing things happened-
1. I made onion the Turkish way- for the first time in my life I have just eaten a whole small raw onion!!!
2. From your Adana kebabs...I tried preparing my bread in that butter water trick- again superb!! I had to use gluten free ciabatta rolls and your method made them lovely and juicy- perfect for the doner meat!
Thank you so much for your inspiration xxxx
Refikaaaaa, i did it, when i started to cook, my Swiss-Turkish kids went "oh the smell is amazing". We had a great dinner during Corona stay home days. Thank you. Keep cooking and show us the way.
Burak : I want all of them
I felt that.
Hits different don’t it
I wonder what it feels like having an IQ so low that I talk in memes...
Thank you for this recipe. I did it for my wife and it was nice to hear good words that she likes. I spoiled the meat a bit because I gave too much onions and didn't separate the water but the extras came out great.
What the hell, this production value is great, the cook is great, the presentation is great. This channel deserves to get big.
thank youuu 😍😍
I made this. It's SO amazing! Thank you for bringing this to us.
what did u use for “ red pepper “ ?
is it paprika or Cayenne pepper or red chili powder or crushed red pepper?
@@bezamekonnen2431 all above will serve the purpose
I love such chefs who simply put anything in their mouth while working in the kitchen. It shows how much you love your job.
I have never cried so much as when I squeezed out the onion juice....
I squeeze it directly into my eyes when I need a good cry.
Can we just put the onions in without squeezing the juices out?

@@bluelips14 nope
@@bluelips14 try it out. I found that it was a really effective way to get the flavour into the meat. I would recommend "juicing" the onion though.
God i love your videos so much!
I’m about a third turkish but know nothing about my heritage, so recreating my ancestor’s cuisine helps me to reconnect with my people’s history very much.
EDIT: just made the traditional turkish one for luch, with home baked pitas, and it was fantastoc, my whole family loved it. Thank you so much!
This was absolutely fantastic. We don't have a large middle-eastern/greek/turkish restaurant scene here, so it's difficult to get good kebab/gyro food. The texture of the meat was exactly what I wanted, and have been trying to replicate at home for 20 years. Thank you so much, Refika.
I've made this recipe many times this summer! I put the mince mix on sticks and freeze them on parchment paper. Then when its suppertime, I just pull out as many sticks as the family will eat and fry or grill them. Delicious and easy weeknight food!
I made this today and my family loved it.
I love your relaxed attitude to eat this "not cleanly eatable" food. And generally your easy going way! And yes, I want to see Burak baking the breads! Thanks to you all for your videos, I am discovering new delicious foods and flavours!
Bread videos, yes please! Awesome recipe, awesome channel, greetings from Lithuania!
Please make a bread video!
One with Simit but not the soft ones like you get here in Germany. I want a Simit like the ones you buy before you enter the ferry
I made this yesterday and it was amazing! Even my picky eaters loved it 👍🏼😋
PLEASE have Burak show us how to make the bread. He's a great video editor. Always good to have more than one talent. Love the ground meat idea. Can't wait to try this.
Simply make a regular white loaf to the first rise. Break off balls approx. 100g or 200g depending on preferred size
Simply roll out to the size of a slipper and put in the oven at the highest heat possible
Between 30s-60s and it should inflate. Remove and cut open one side, but beware of being burnt by the steam
Bread bread bread!! Yes please.
Yes!
Yes please please please!!
Bread recipe is in the description. I tried it and it came out hard like it was rusk 🤷🏻♀️ I guess that's why a video would help ✌🏼

We really need that burak´s bread
Bob Bob lol
@@_durri33 unnecesary. I do love a pain de campagne or my Sunday breakfast brotchen. But that doesn't mean that great bread is made around the world
we need it
Oh my gosh right? The toasty color was just Sublime, and I love that it was sprinkled with all those pretty seeds on top! You just know that that bread is an experience in and of itself.
Yes, please do show us how to make the bread.
Hi Refika, me and my boyfriend made the recipe the same day you uploaded this. it has become a MUST HAVE in our freezer now. We even made ''kebab pizza'' with it and it was delicious.
Thank you
so happy to hear and I like the idea of kebab pizza as well ❤️👌🏻
That's called "pide" in Turkish :D
Yes pls share how u do the breaf
Omg genious ! Very happy to stumbled on this video !! What a genious way to make it without the "turning machine"
I'll try do in these quarantine days... Thank u for the recipe Reff ❤️☺️
the bread needs to be shown. We often go to a local kebab house and by this style of bread. Thank you for the video we will be making this soon.
I made it and came out perfect!!!! I will make it for the special people in my life.
My mouth was watering when your putting them together. Yum indeed. Yes to the bread video. 😋😋😋
Finally, somebody acknowledges in a cooking video that onions sting your eyes when they are being chopped. Thank you! 😃
My 4 year old loved the seasoning for the meat!!!! I’m so excited to use the seasonings again but for a burger!!! I loved it as well!!!! ❤❤❤ THANK YOU from Texas!
Wow this is so incredible, I've been such a fan of Turkish cuisine for so long and now I can finally try it at home!!
I can't imagine *not crying* while scraping a whole onion through a strainer! A natural antibiotic, you say?
Wow! Burak bread, yes, please!
Hi. From Florida. I watch one video after the other. Such great recipes. Been wondering how to make the meat for Gyros and was so happy to see that you had a video for it. Also, the humus and Falafel. Thanks so much. 😊
You must be a Greek from Clearwater 😊
What a beautiful part of Turkey you live in !
This was so delicious! Prepped it a few days ago and cooked it tonight and the family loved it!
I lived in Ireland in 2012/13 where I learned to super enjoy Kebab. As I got back to Brazil I could not find good Kebabs that would bring back the European feeling, so I started to browse for an easy recipe that I could do myself and today I did it. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIIIS!!! Meant a lot to do it and enjoy with my wife!
All the best. Keep up the good work.
in brazil a turkish resturant. in Fortaleza city place called istanbul döner kebab
I'd love to see a tour of the fridge and pantry. It would be cool to see the different core ingredients used in your kitchen.
How to make the quarantine days more fun? Here is the answer... ❤❤❤ Love you Refikaa❣❣
I never tried any recepi better than this one exact professional taste and very easy to prepare.
All my family loved it highly recommend for doner kebab lovers and thank you very much for sharing the secret of this delicious recipe
What an amazing idea and so simple, can't wait to make it. Thank you Refika!
I’m in love! U made the most sense. Omg, I’ve researched this forever and was going to my fall back, tacos. Omg u helped me sooooo much. Thank u!
I made this for my family last night... I made 2 types, chicken and beef. Got a blister from slicing the frozen meat! The fam said it was worth my blister :) I made both sauces and slaws(?) Both were super tasty, even though I may have not gotten the portions right. I enjoyed the ginger in the pepper sauce!! We used tortilla shells and wrapped it all up. I would love to see a recipe book some day!! Thank you for sharing your heritage with us!! I've enjoyed learning new and simple techniques!
Hello, just found you via “Alex”, and I like a lot such warm family atmosphere of all your videos!! Sure I’d love to see Mr. Burak making bread for Donër, too.
Greeting from Japan.
What’s Ayran by the way??
it is so great to hear 😍😍 and so happy that you like what we try to share.. Ayran is a traditional drink which we make with mixing yogurt, water and a bit salt to taste.. very fresh and healthy as well 👌
This brings back such amazing memories of living in Germany 😭 I cannot wait to make this for my family. They are going to flip! 🥰
I'm so glad I found your video. In Canada, we have something called "Donair" which is a "Canadian-ized" version on this recipe. It's usually (or ideally) cooked on a vertical rotary spit, but can be done as a loaf in the oven. Your technique of freezing the meat mixture is brilliant for "on the spot" Donairs! We also use a sweet garlic sauce made from Evaporated Milk, sugar, garlic and white vinegar to thicken it. Usual fixings are onion and tomato. Thanks so much for sharing this method!
Donair as you describe is a mostly east coast thing. How did it get there? The German Turkish doner is here in Southern Ontario but less popular than Shawarma.
@sitoudien9816 A Greek! Google Halifax Donair.
Here on the west coast they offer sweet sauce, but IMHO it's an abomination when there's toum and tzatziki. My partner, who grew up in Ottawa, says it always had sweet sauce.
I just discovered your channel , And I’m very thrilled to start cooking your recipes
Blessings to you and your family.
Greetings from Dallas Texas
Buraaak, we want the recipe of the breeaadd 😭😭 All the love from Algeria 🇩🇿
size seviyoooorruuzzz ❤️
Wow! I am going to try it right away. I grew up with Turkish friends. Your channel reminds me of my old pals back in Kuwait. Stay blessed
The bread is as essential part off the meal, as the meat and condiments are. Would love to see the recepie on the chanel. Thx for the amazing receipt. Will sure to try it!
I started following you after the meatball series by Alex and I love your presentation and care and love you show while presenting your work.
I am going to prepare it today and make it on Friday. my friend is moving to another state and 3-4 of us will meet for a bonfire (it is almost winter in Australia and 8-10 degrees in the evening) in my backyard.
I am thinking of using lamb instead of beef as one of my friends don't eat beef due to her beliefs...I'm so looking forward to making it
Thank you for this recipe, you are such a sweetheart
Refika I prepared this a few days ago and cooked it today. Looks just like the takeaway version and tastes even better.
I can't believe how easy it was!
I definitely prefer the Turkish way.
This technique was absolutely mindblowing and I'm definitely gonna be trying this soon!! And pleaseee post the doner bread recipe!!

Lots of love from Istanbul
Sharing this doner w/ my loved ones? Yeah right! If I could get my hands on one of these right now, I'd pretend not to know them until I am done eating :).
I went to Turkey when I was around 11 years old, I am 21 now and I still remember the amazing donor kebabs I had there. They were INCREDIBLE.
All in all, I love your channel! I'm so happy and annoyed at the same time, I wish I knew about it before I went to Istanbul, we could literally see you from our balcony of the apartment we were staying at! but I'm so glad I've found your channel your food looks amazing and I cant wait to try and make it for my family xx
You are a Godsend! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You rock! I can't wait to try. Yes, Barak show your bread recipe. Looks AMAZING!
Thank you so much for posting this recipe. I grew up in Berlin abd my husband was stationed there with the US military. We moved back to the states about 14 years ago. We live in Jubeau, Alaska right now and nobody here ever heard of the Döner Kebab. This weekend I made your recipe and it was delicious. My husband loves it and so does my daughter.
Thank you again
hello, so it means its gonna be good potential if i open doner kebab there, but alaska 🤔🤔🤒🤒 too cold to live😆😆
you are an amazing chef 👩🍳 !! i love how you explain everything so different from other chefs … i learn so much from you ♥️♥️♥️ god bless you thank you so much for your awsome content !
Amazing , I am going to get the ingredients together and attempting this, it seems so easy.
We love your energy . I think the Turkish way wins. Thanks for the recipe
Tried this recipe and loved it! 💕 tastes amazing and it’s really quick and easy to throw together. Tried it with lamb and beef mince and love both. Thank you Refika
it looks so nice i will definatley be trying to cook this, love from UK
Can we please take a moment to appreciate the library of cookbooks your have behind you Refika? 🤩
Thank you Refika!!! Your donair recipe is so easy to make except for the cutting of the frozen meat part ;). I love how passionate you are about food and your personality shines with fun and positivity with your team!!! Lots of love from Canada
Sometimes when I have frozen meat in a lump i will cook it frozen and then cut the cooked bit and so on a bit like slicing the donar as it gets cripsy on the outside. I do this because I am too lazy to wait for defrosting but I think it would work with this!!! Just fry cut fry cut as you go till you have a middle bit ...
Refika I think you should show variety of turkish cuzine for vegetarian/vegan people
A lot of German-Turkish cuisine is actually really great even without the meat. The salads by itself wrapped in bread or lahmacun is pretty amazing already. If you're not against dairy products you could also make a yogurt dressing based garlic sauce with it for an extra punch.
Thank you!! Exactly, to show, how to make the bread is very good idea!!!
Looks so good. I can't believe I never thought to do this before. I would love the bread recipe too. Is it similar to Ramadan pide? Just shaped differently- sorta looks the same.
I've a fever and the only prescription is more bread recipe!
Is anyone else in the U.S. and has trouble getting all that liquid from their onions? Refika, I love you and you're recipes! Thank you for sharing! You are so wonderful!
I’ve become an instant fan. I didn’t know about the Turkish style. When I’m in Germany this almost is the only food I have for lunch. Thanks for this awesome cooking video. 😋
I just wanted to say thank you for this recipe. I've made it quite a few times and it's great, so much better than what generally gets sold in supermarkets in the UK.
I have to say though it's a struggle to carve the frozen block of kebab meat! I have joint issues so my housemate who is good with knives does it but cold hands with a frozen block of meat he found tricky. We kept having the problem that it took too long to carve enough and the meat would already start to defrost before we fried it so would lose consistency and fall apart. If we kept any in the fridge for the next day it fell apart too much as well, not sure why because it doesn't sound like you have that problem, so we must be not quite doing it right maybe. I did find a good hack for this problem was to not put it in a block in the freezer but to spread out flat on a baking sheet ontop of some parchment - then once it's frozen you can easily crack it apart into flat pieces and store in the freezer in another tupperware. It might not marinate as well like that possibly but it made it a lot easier to deal with for us.
I wonder if a mandoline would work?
use a thin-bladed (but wide shape) vegetable knife - often thought of as an Asian vegetable knife. A chopping knife or a normal Chef's knife is much thicker and makes it much harder.
I haven't tried it (yet), but you might be able to get a cheap deli meat slicer. I'm sure that would make it much much easier.
My mother was of French decent and loved onions like apples she said .
I love your cooking and food . Ty
“Turkish people knows tons of different ways to cry” 😂😂 Istanbul manzaralari sahane! Hanu / 하누 ile yapacagim bu doneri. Malzemeleri bulabilirim Seul’de. Sadece o bicak nedir? Umarim el kesmeden yapabilirim 😃
Be carefull :)
The name of this knife “satır” . We Turks use this knife to chop meat generally. It is especially ideal for cutting the meat into very small pieces for kebap. Love from Turkey
