Ingredients

1 lb ground lamb
1 lb 80/20 ground beef
1 medium onion, grated and squeezed dry
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 tbsp full-fat Greek yogurt
1.5 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp ground coriander
1.5 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Pita bread, for serving
Shredded cabbage, sliced tomatoes, red onion, for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine ground lamb, ground beef, grated onion, garlic, yogurt, cumin, paprika, oregano, coriander, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a large bowl. Mix by hand for 2-3 minutes until sticky and well combined. Cover and chill 30 minutes.
Divide meat mixture in half. Place each portion between two sheets of parchment paper and roll into a thin rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the rolled meat (still on parchment) on the baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and edges are crispy.
Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes. Using a sharp knife, slice the meat logs into thin strips, doner-style.
Return strips to the baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes until crispy and browned on edges.
Serve in warm pita with shredded cabbage, sliced tomatoes, red onion, and your favorite sauce.
