Ingredients 

  • 2 onion, medium-sized/peeled and cut into large chunks
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1kg minced chicken thigh
  • 2 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 4 tablespoons Greek yogurt, full-fat or no fat
  • 2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes,
  • 2 teaspoon  salt

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 400 °F (204°C).
  • Place the onion and garlic in a food processor and pulse until fully chopped/pureed. Place it in a large bowl.
  • Into that same bowl, add in the chicken, tomato paste, Greek yogurt, ground cumin, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
  • Using clean hands, mix well until thoroughly combined.
  • Divide the mixture into 3 equal pieces*.
  • Grab a large sheet of parchment paper and place one of the pieces in the middle. Place another sheet of parchment on top and, using a rolling pin (or your hands), roll it out into a rectangle. Do your best to make it as even as possible.
  • Remove the parchment paper on top. Starting from the bottom with the short side facing you, roll the meat (with the parchment paper) onto itself in 2-inch increments until complete. Transfer it to a large sheet pan.
  • Repeat the same process for the remaining pieces.
  • Move the rolled meat to the side and add the tomatoes and peppers to the same sheet pan. Drizzle them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer it to the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  • When done, unfold the rolled meat and tear it into large pieces.
  • Assemble with salad leaf of your choice of either lavash bread , pitta bread or Tortilla wrap add the donner on top of the salad then red onion with sumac and some chopped tomatoes drizzle with tahini sauce and close the wrap from all sides. Place the wrap on a heated pan and bake on both sides till the tortilla is slightly toasted. Serve with the roasted peppers and tomatoes
