HOMEMADE ROTISSERIE DONER KEBAB MEAT - BEEF OR LAMB!

Steps:

• Mix beef or lamb with all the Spices - mix well using your hands.
• Cover and refrigerate 2 hours minimum, or up to 24 hours.
• Preheat oven to 170°C/ 325°F (150°C fan).
• Line baking pan with foil.
• Check to ensure skewers are long enough to prop on the sides of the pan. (Note 5)
• Place onion, bacon and garlic in a 8 cup/2L+ food processor. Blitz until it becomes a paste (video at 29 sec),~30 sec on high, scraping down sides as you go.
• Add meat and blitz on low until it becomes a paste (video at 42 sec), scraping down sides (~1 min for powerful food processors, 2 min for less powerful). (Note 4)
• Turn meat out onto work surface. Wet hands with water, then shape into an even block 20cm/8" long.
• Place 2 x 60cm / 2 feet long pieces of foil overlapping each other by 1/3. (Note 6)
• Place meat on the end of the foil, then roll it up, tightly wrapping it in the foil.
• Twist the ends firmly to form a log 25cm/10" long, then snip off excess foil. Roll into even log.
• Thread skewers through the log.
• Place log elevated in pan by propping skewers on the edge of the pan. (Note 7)
• Cook for 1 1/2 hours, turning once after 1 hour, until the log reaches 70°C/160°F (up to 80°C/175°F is fine). The log is cooked at this point. (Note 9)
• Remove foil from log but leave skewers in place.
• Increase oven heat to 250°C/480°F, or as high as your oven can go if it can't reach this.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, rotating once, until browned all over.
• Remove skewers then stand the meat upright.
• Shave meat thinly - carve as much as you intend to use.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Cook shaved meat lightly coloured but still "floppy" (not crisped). Use immediately for Doner Kebabs!
• Smear hummus on warmed flatbread. Top with lettuce, tomato, and onion.
• Pile on Doner Kebab Meat. Drizzle with sauce(s) of choice.
• Roll up tightly, wrap in foil if desired (to hold together). Grab and devour!

BEEF AND BACON THREADED KEBAB

Steps:

• Mix the adobo sauce, agave and lime juice together in a small bowl and set aside.
• Lay out the bacon on a paper-towel-lined plate. Microwave until partially cooked, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Press 1 strip of bacon onto 1 strip of steak and gently flatten them together. Thread a skewer through the bacon and steak, creating a ribbon-like shape on the skewer. Repeat with the remaining bacon and beef. Refrigerate the skewers for 15 to 30 minutes before cooking to help them stay together.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Place the skewers on the grill bacon-side down. Brush the adobo glaze onto the beef while the bacon cooks. Cook until the bacon is crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the skewers and glaze the bacon side. Cook until the beef has a nice char, another 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

SHISH KEBAB

Steps:

• Skewer the lamb cubes on the skewers. Stir together the yogurt, olive oil and onion juice in a glass or ceramic pan or bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the lamb skewers, coat with the marinade and refrigerate, covered, for 4 hours. Prepare a charcoal fire and let it die down a bit or preheat a gas grill for 15 minutes on low. Set the skewers on a skewer holder over the fire and grill until golden brown and succulent, turning often, about 20 minutes. Or, lacking a skewer holder, place them on the grill and grill to perfection. Serve with or on a piece grill-warmed pita bread and the cacik on the side.
• Toss grated cucumber with a light sprinkling of salt. Leave for 30 minutes. Drain the cucumber, squeezing out all the liquid. Pound the garlic in a mortar with 1 teaspoon salt until completely mashed. Stir the garlic into the yogurt and beat with a fork until smooth. Stir in the cucumber, the dill, mint and olive oil and stir until the consistency of a thick soup. Refrigerate for an hour and serve cold.

CARNE ASADA KEBAB

Steps:

• In medium bowl, stir together HERDEZ® Salsa Casera, lime juice, oregano and olive oil. Place meat, bell peppers and half of marinade in large re-sealable bag. Store remaining marinade in refrigerator. Seal bag with skewers and refrigerate 4 to 24 hours. Heat grill to medium-high heat. Remove skewers from marinade and discard marinade. Thread meat and vegetables onto skewers, leaving small space between each item. Lightly oil grill grate. Grill skewers 10 minutes, turning as needed, or until meat is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Warm reserved marinade and serve alongside warm kebabs.

JOLLY GIANT MEATBALLS

Steps:
