I lived in Germany for about 2 years when I was in my early 20s. Back then, after a night of drinking at the pub, there was really nothing better than a döner kebab. I don’t know a lot about the origin of the döner kebab, but the website I linked to shows sandwiches that look super similar to the ones I ate on the streets of Kaiserslautern.
I found this pic of the bar my sister and I went to a couple of times. I tried to find the source for the pic. But if you click here you can see where I found the photo.
Since I have a freezer half full of lamb I thought I’d try to build a sandwich similarly seasoned to the döner kebab. But, instead of roasting the pressed meat on a spit, I braised and then pulled the lamb like pork. I ended up with what you see here. Totally different in texture but very similar in flavor. Probably a lot less effort for the home cook but equally as good for the end result. I’m sure you could use chicken, beef, or pork in place of the lamb.
I know it seems like a lot of work and ingredients. But if you needed to feed a crowd it would be perfect because you could make the slaw and the sauce the day before. It’s really a lot easier than it looks at first glance, I PROMISE! I ate four of them and I’m not even kidding!
