Here's a recipe for Germany-inspired Döner Kebab:

Ingredients:

For the meat:

• 500g of thinly sliced lamb, chicken, or beef (traditionally lamb)
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of paprika
• 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon of ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
• Salt to taste

For the sauce:

• 1 cup of Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste

For serving:

• Flatbreads or pita breads
• Thinly sliced lettuce
• Thinly sliced tomatoes
• Thinly sliced onions
• Thinly sliced cucumber
• Pickled chili peppers (optional)

Instructions:

1- Marinate the meat: In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced meat with minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to ensure the meat is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.

2- Prepare the sauce: In another bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined. Adjust seasoning according to your taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

3- Cook the meat: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated meat slices in batches, ensuring they are spread out evenly to allow for even cooking. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the meat is cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.

4- Warm the flatbreads: Heat the flatbreads or pita breads in a dry skillet or grill pan for a minute or two on each side until warm and slightly toasted.

5- Assemble the Döner Kebab: Place a warmed flatbread on a plate. Spread a generous amount of the prepared sauce over the flatbread. Top with thinly sliced lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cucumber, and the grilled meat slices. Add pickled chili peppers if desired.

6- Roll up the flatbread tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides as you go to form a wrap.

7- Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Germany-inspired Döner Kebab!
