Perhaps not the usual standard of cuisine discussed here but I thought I'd ask.

Our local kebab shop serves decent quality doner kebabs but they serve them in a polystyrene box and include a gigantic quantity of meat.
Seriously, when we both have one there's at least half a pound of meat left after we've eaten them.

At the moment, I just pick at it through the evening and then the dog gets whatever's left in his dinner the following day.

I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for something that could be done with this meat to make a meal for the following day?

You probably shouldn't give your dog kebab meat, it contains all sorts of spices their stomachs can't handle.

Hasn't it occurred to you to just buy one one doner kebab and an extra pitta bread/doner bread and then share the meat between you? Cheaper AND no wasted meat!

I can't think of a recipe using leftover doner meat that would even be nice, reheated doner goes really rubbery and tasteless.

I used to give my dog all sorts including curry. Didn't do him any harm.

Share one between you. Problem solved. Failing that, a doner pizza the next day sounds like a plan.

It might sound a bit trivial but we usually order 2 because we get through all the salad that they come with.

It did occur to me to order smaller ones but they're only something like 50p cheaper so if I can find something half-decent to do with the left-over meat it means I am, effectively, getting another night's meal for £1.

Doner pizza was the first thing I thought of but I was just wondering if there was anything a bit more exotic that could be done with the meat.

Funny when you think about it - a doner is a HUGE lump of meat so you'd think it might be used for things other than making kebabs.

I can't think of anything else. It's overcooked, low grade lamb.

Like glass bottles in the 70s, just bring it back to the shop for recycling and get 10p off your next purchase.

Why not buy one kebab and an extra salad?

As to ideas, when I have leftovers it really is just a variation on a theme.
Have pittas and tortilla wraps in the freezer to be able to knock up a snack the next day.
Have iceberg lettuce, onion and a jar of pickled red cabbage to make a takeaway salad.

If with chips then it could be on a plate with the meat, salad and chips with a pitta on the side or you can put the chips in with the meat and salad for a kebab wrap.

Can't think at the moment of anything exotic to do. Might have a think about it though.

Buy some pitta bread and make your own breakfast kebab out of the leftovers.

He is safe from this dog lover who has also got a dog who loves curry, Not too much or it upsets her but just a little doesn't seem to do any harm.

You can get a "regular" kebab where I go, and it (just about) fits into the pitta, not like most places where there's a ton of meat.

A small/regular donner around here is still a ton of meat. Infact a kids kebab can fill me and even then sometimes have enough for a second meal.

Another idea for leftovers is a Stonner. Not my idea ->

Just bung the meat between two slices of bread and make a sandwich out of it. I wouldn't go to too much trouble as lamb isn't the nicest warmed-up meat.

Add the Lamb to a jar of korma curry sauce .
Put it with some rice for a quick curry.

i really couldn't think of using left-over doner meat as the basis for a curry tbh

when i get a takeaway instead of getting a kebab what i tend to do is get a plain cheese and tomato pizza , a boxed portion of doner meat and tubs of chili sauce and use the pizza as the replacement for the pitta bread

easy to then just re-heat the pizza and the left-over meat the next day and just have a second helping

That sounds absolutely rank.

That's what me and my wife did (buy a large mixed kebab along with a small chicken and we shared everything apart from the chunks of lamb which I don't really like).

I don't normally eat a kebab but I do remember eating all of it when I did get one - so it could not have been huge!

Anyway, could you not treat the left over kebab exactly the same as you would left over roast lamb? I had some lamb left over from Sunday night and used it to make a fry-up.
Admittedly it was pink and could take cooking further, but all I did was fry onion, garlic, one red chilli and ginger together with the diced meat. I then added some soy sauce, some left over veggies (I had carrots and cabbage) and a little liquid so there was some liquid and served with noodles.

Nothing ever goes to waste in my house!

You could donate it to a vet for grafting onto a wounded sheep.
