I don’t know about you, but we love a cheeky kebab in our household. However as you know I am trying to refrain from ordering takeaways and include more healthy meals into our diet.
BritMums and the Meat Advisory Panel recently set up a challenge for parents to create a yummy family friendly recipe with beef, pork or lamb.
I chose a recipe that was quick and easy to make and it’s one of Darcy’s favoruite meals. She’s starting to get a little picky with her food so I try to include as many healthy elements to her meals as possible. Dr Emma Derbyshire, a public health nutritionist and mother, says: “Including a small portion of red meat in the diet a few times a week after weaning can help to bridge nutrient gaps and so help to maintain good health through childhood and beyond.”
If I am honest we are not big red meat eaters in our house but when we do have it I make sure it is as lean as possible. Red meat is also a good source of iron, zinc, B vitamins, selenium and potassium – essential ingredients for the healthy growth and development of children and maintenance in adults.
Fakeaway Doner Kebab
Ingredients
500g lean beef (you can use lamb, but I find beef is more flavoursome)
1 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp mixed herbs
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
¼ cayenne pepper
2 beef oxo cubes
Method
- Place all dry ingredients into the bowl and mixed together
- Add the mince, and mixed together until smooth (using your hands are best for this)
- Roll the mixture into a sausage shape
- On a sheet of foil place sliced onions and put the kebab meat on top,
- Wrap the kebab meat up and cook in a slow cooker for 5 hours on low or 3 on high
- Once cooked slice and serve with lots of salad, pitta bread and or chips
What’s your family's favourite meal?
