Iskender Kebab

Ingredients

Steps

  1. 1Prepare thin slices of seasoned lamb or beef doner-style, either stacked on a vertical rotisserie or pan-seared in thin strips, until the edges turn crisp and browned.
  2. 2Cut fresh pita bread into small cubes and arrange them in a single layer across a serving plate to form a base that will soak up the sauces.
  3. 3Make a simple tomato sauce by simmering crushed tomatoes with a little butter and salt until it thickens slightly and turns glossy.
  4. 4Layer the sliced doner meat generously over the bed of pita cubes, covering the bread evenly.
  5. 5Pour the hot tomato sauce over the meat and bread so it seeps down and softens the cubes underneath.
  6. 6In a small pan, melt butter until it turns golden and starts to foam, then immediately drizzle it sizzling hot over the entire plate for a dramatic tableside finish.
  7. 7Add a generous dollop of thick strained yogurt alongside the meat, letting it melt slightly from the residual heat.
  8. 8Serve immediately with grilled tomatoes and green peppers on the side while the butter is still sizzling.
