  • Using your hands, start combining the mince with all the spices. You need to work the ingredients together well - it can take 5 minutes - so that it becomes smooth. You could use a food processor to mix the meat together but I find that it leaves you with more mess.

  • Once you're ready to serve, be careful lifting the doner meat out of the slow cooker, it will be very hot. If you're looking to eat this straight away, then using a sharp knife, and fork to hold it in place, slice the doner meat thinly.
  • Or if you let it cool down first or prepare it ahead of time, use a potato peeler to slice off the doner meat, then reheat under the grill or in the oven for around 15 minutes, or even in a frying pan - no oil needed.
  • Serve the meat with pitta or flat bread, and lots of salad, and sauces of your choice.
