Best 5 Donar Kebab Sauces White And Red Recipes
Doner kebab is a popular Turkish dish consisting of meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie, sliced, and served with various accompaniments. The meat is typically lamb, beef, or chicken, and is marinated in herbs and spices before being cooked. Doner kebab is often served in a pita bread sandwich, with a variety of toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and tzatziki sauce. It can also be served on a plate, with rice or bulgur wheat. This article provides recipes for two essential sauces that are commonly served with doner kebab: white sauce and red sauce. The white sauce is a creamy, garlicky sauce made with yogurt, mayonnaise, and herbs. The red sauce is a spicy, tomato-based sauce made with chili peppers, garlic, and spices. Both sauces are easy to make and can be used to add flavor and richness to your doner kebab.

Steps:
- Whisk all of the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl. Add chicken halves and stir to thoroughly coat. Cover and refrigerate 8-24 hours.
- Whisk the Garlic Yogurt Sauce ingredient together in a medium bowl. Chill until ready to serve. The sauce can be made at the time you start marinating the chicken or aim for at least an hour before cooking the chicken.
- Using 2 skewers for each kebab, thread one side of the thigh onto each skewer and then the other side; slide the skewered chicken down to the end (see photos in post or video). Repeat with half the chicken, pushing the chicken against each other. Repeat to make a second kabob with the remaining chicken.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Clean grates and generously grease with oil.
- Once hot, add kebabs, and grill for 4-5 minutes without moving. Flip kebabs over and grill the other side an addition 4-5 minutes.
- Next, flip chicken over, COVER and reduce heat so it maintains 400 degrees F with the lid closed. Continue to cook, approximately 5-10 additional minutes per side turning once, until chicken reaches 165 degrees F. Remove from grill and let rest 5 minutes before carving.
- Meanwhile, add flatbread to the grill to warm up.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a pan with foil that allows you to perch the metal skewers on the top rim of the pan so the chicken hangs in the middle without touching the bottom of the pan (see photos in post or video).
- Bake at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes, then flip kebabs over. Spoon the pan juices over the chicken and bake an addition 15- 20 minutes or until chicken reaches 165 degrees F. Optional: Without moving the pan, turn oven to broil and broil for 3-5 minutes per side for more yummy crispy bits. Baste again with pan juices. Let rest 5-10 minutes before carving.
- Meanwhile, wrap the desired amount of flatbread in foil and place in the oven. Heat for 8-10 minutes or until warm and pliable. Remove from the oven using oven mitts.
- Stand the skewers upright on a cutting board and thinly slice chicken off.
- Spread a generous amount of hummus over warmed flatbread. Top with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, chicken, and garlic yogurt sauce. Drizzle with sriracha if you like some heat - careful, a little goes a long way.
- Serve chicken on a plate with desired accompaniments such as warmed flatbread, curried rice (see notes), shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and sides of garlic yogurt sauce, sriracha and hummus.
AUTHENTIC TURKISH DONER KEBAB
A very popular take-out especially after a night out at the pub. This favorite is so, so tasty--I'm sure once you try it, you'll certainly want to make more! Serve with warmed (lightly toasted) pita bread, chili sauce, and a salad of shredded cabbage, carrot, onion, and sliced cucumber. Also great to add as a topping for pizzas. Great to make in advance, slice and freeze.

DONAR KEBAB SAUCES (WHITE AND RED)
I came up with these quick sauces to top off Donar Kebabs (gyros), similar to what you get in Europe. There's a white sauce similar to an aioli and a red chili sauce similar to harissa, but these use shortcuts to cut down on prep time since you're also cooking up the donar kebabs. I make these to go with my recipe Recipe #292013 .

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip all the ingredients except the oil into a food processor with a large pinch of salt and lots of ground pepper. Pulse until everything is combined and chopped together. You can also just squish everything together in a bowl but this will give you a looser finish.
- Oil a large sheet of foil, tip the meat mix in the middle and mould to a very thick sausage, roughly the shape of an aubergine. Roll up the foil tightly, twisting up the ends to create a Christmas cracker shape.
- Lay on a shallow roasting tin and roast in the oven for 35-40 mins, turning occasionally, or until a digital cooking thermometer reads 75C when pierced in the middle. Leave the kebab to cool a little, then unwrap the foil. Place back on the tray and brown under the grill or with a blowtorch.
- Place on a board and carve into thin slices. For full doner mode, you can hold the kebab up with a roasting fork or metal skewer and carve. Serve with warm pitta bread and any of the other accompaniments, including our chilli sauce and garlic yogurt sauce.

Tips
- Fresh ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This includes fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic, and herbs.
- Homemade spices: If possible, use homemade spices instead of store-bought. This will give your sauces a more authentic flavor.
- Balanced flavors: The two sauces should be balanced in flavor. The white sauce should be creamy and garlicky, while the red sauce should be tangy and spicy.
- Use a food processor: A food processor can make quick work of chopping the tomatoes, onions, and garlic. This will save you time and effort.
- Let the sauces rest: After you have made the sauces, let them rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion
These two sauces are essential for making delicious döner kebabs. The white sauce is creamy and garlicky, while the red sauce is tangy and spicy. When combined, they create a flavor that is both unique and unforgettable. So next time you make döner kebabs, be sure to use these two sauces. You won't be disappointed.
