Ingredients
1 medium onion, peeled and cut into chunks
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 lb ground beef
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp Greek yogurt
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
3 medium tomatoes, quartered
2 green peppers
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
4 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp tomato paste
1/4 cup hot water
1/4 tsp kosher salt
4 lavash breads or pita breads
1/2 cup sumac onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Purée the onion and garlic until smooth.
- In a bowl, combine the onion mixture with ground beef, tomato paste, Greek yogurt, cumin, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly by hand.
- Divide the meat into three portions. Flatten each portion between parchment paper into rectangles, then roll each one tightly and place on a sheet pan.
- Add the tomatoes and green peppers to the same pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, until the meat is browned and vegetables are tender.
- Let the meat cool slightly, then unroll and tear into strips.
- To make the sauce, melt butter in a pan, stir in tomato paste, then whisk in hot water and salt. Simmer until smooth.
- Warm the lavash or pita breads. Spread some sauce, add doner meat, roasted vegetables, and sumac onions.
- Drizzle with additional sauce, roll into wraps, and serve warm.
Notes
Swap ground beef with lamb for a more traditional flavor.
Use ground chicken or turkey for a lighter option.
Add cucumbers or yogurt sauce for extra freshness.
Increase red pepper flakes or add chili sauce for more heat.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a skillet to maintain texture.
Freeze cooked meat for up to 2 months.
Use olive oil instead of butter for a dairy-free sauce.
