the takeaway secret

FluffyBunnykins

The first thing I am going to try is the donna meat. If I make the full amount (feeds 3-4) do you think it will be ok to freeze half (unsliced) of it?

I found the donner meat only made 2 kebabs and a leftover little kebab.....and the pitas weren't even that full of meat either!

Maybe I'm just greedy

Thanks Buttonmoons for the heads up on the size. Greedy..... nah, it must be that tasty and yummy.

You really only need one third kebab meat to two thirds salad on your kebab, we do anyway, that way we get 3 each and enough left over for lunch the following day.

Mind you, I do use a mandolin type slicer to get the meat really thin, that way it looks like you have a hell of a lot more meat on there.

I froze it however sliced it first and laid the pieces flat in a freezer bag (wont take as long to defrost and just take out enough thats needed)

tasted just as nice

I was thinking of using a potato peeler to slice the doner meat in long strips like in the takeaways, will this work do you think?

I found the meat too soft for my potato slicer - ended up using a knife instead.

then the only option is go there, read it and decide if it's worth it

i think you'll find enough to sell off to be able to get it!!

I definitely want it! I'm addicted to recipe books, although I do have a tendency to read a recipe and then try and remember it when I get to the kitchen.... with interesting results :rotfl: Might have to physically have this one in the kitchen with me!

Luckily today I remembered it's actually my birthday in less than a week and OH asked a while back if there was anything I wanted, so might have it sooner than I thought

As for Ebay, I think I must have a phobia or something.. it's been months since I sorted out all the stuff and I've still not done it
I should really stop reading threads and get on with that!

Yeah I just attack it with a knife and not a very sharp one either, plus all the bits I shove in my mouth as I'm assembling :whistle:

I really need to try new recipes from the book. Think I'll have a look later and see what I need and throw it onto my online shop.
