Doner Kebab Sandwich

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1/2 onion, grated
• 1/4 cup yogurt
• 1 tsp each garlic, paprika, chili powder, and black pepper
• Salt, to taste
• 4 roma tomatoes, quartered
• Jalapenos
• 4 large pita

Tahini Sauce

• 1/2 cup tahini (toasted sesame seed paste)
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 garlic clove, grated
• 1/4 cup yogurt
• Water, to thin, and salt to taste

Red Sauce

• 1/4 cup oil
• 1/4 cup tomato paste
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/4 cup water
• Salt, to taste

To Finish

• Pomegranate molasses
• Sumac

Directions

• Grate the onion into the ground beef. Add the yogurt and season generously with the garlic, paprika, chili powder, black pepper, and salt.
• Work everything together with your hands until well combined.
• Ball up the mixture and place it in the center of a piece of parchment paper. Cover with another sheet and carefully spread into a thin, even layer, then roll it up into a large cigar shape.
• Place on a sheet tray alongside the quartered tomatoes and jalapenos. Bake at 400F for about 15 minutes (pull it early to keep it juicy), then unroll into a thin sheet.
• Return to the oven under a high broil for a couple of minutes to crisp the edges, then slice.
• Tahini sauce: whisk the tahini, lemon juice, grated garlic, and yogurt; thin with water and season with salt.
• Red sauce: stir together the oil, tomato paste, ketchup, cayenne, water, and salt.
• Warm the pita and pile on the meat, tomato, and jalapeno. Add plenty of tahini sauce and red sauce, then finish with a drizzle of pomegranate molasses and a sprinkle of sumac.
