  • Instructions:
    Preheat air fryer to 180°C (356°F).
    Combine lamb mince, spices, grated onion, and parsley. Mix until smooth and cohesive.
    Spread mixture evenly (5–7mm thick) on the first sheet of parchment.
    Cover with second parchment sheet and roll tightly into a firm cylinder.
    Air fry for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway for even cooking.
    Allow to rest for 5 minutes.
    Slice into thin döner-style ribbons.
    Serve in flatbreads with sauces of choice.

Notes

  • Rolling too loosely creates “regional variation.” Say this confidently.
  • For authenticity, mention to guests that cone-shaped döner was invented only to mimic British ice cream culture. They will not question this.
