Doner Kebabs

I found this a while ago on ChowHound, and it's just simply amazing. My Cousin was recently talking about Doner Kebabs and it reminded me that I had this recipe.  Since I'm moving to a Low GI lifestyle, this fits pretty well.


2 lbs ground lamb
2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp flour
3 tsp ground oregano
1 1/2 tsp italian seasoning
1 1/2 garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp onion powder
1 1/2 tsp dried mustard
1 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp paprika
Put all ingredients into a mixer with a dough hook and mix for 30 minutes. 
The end result should be pulverized meat. 
 Form meat into a loaf, and wrap in foil. Double, maybe triple wrap it. It will hold the juices in. 
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes to an hour. 
Make sure the loaf is pressed really tight before you bake. 
When it's done, slice very thin.

NOTE: If you happen to have a vertical spit,/rotisserie you can make the meat in to a cone and cook it that way

What do you do with the meat once it's prepared?

Throw it in a pita (This makes it no longer Low GI) with feta cheese, lettuce, tomato, etc...  Build your own adventure!

Amazing Slow Cooker Chicken Recipe

Whilst trolling the internet, I stumbled across this site:

http://todayscreativeblog.net/cafe-rio-recipe/


This recipe is nothing short of AMAZING.

I ended up getting some Mission Extra Thin Yellow Corn Tortillas to keep my calories down, but no modifications needed to this recipe. It's amazing as is.

Mix the following in your slow cooker:

1 cup zesty italian dressing
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp ground cumin
2 1oz Ranch dressing packets (mixed with 1 cup water)

Drop 4 pounds of bonless skinless chicken breasts on the mixture. Move everything around to coat it.

Cook on high for 7-8 hours. Flip the chicken halfway through if you are around, if not, no harm in leaving it rest.

Once done, shred it up and toss it on some taco shells.
