What meat is doner kebab made from?
It is usually seasoned lamb, beef, chicken or a mixture, pressed into a cone and cooked on a vertical spit. The exact blend and seasoning vary between makers.
How is doner kebab cooked on a spit?

Put leftover meat in a covered container in the fridge as soon as it has cooled, and eat it within two days. Reheat it only once, until steaming hot throughout.
