I have been a cook at various eating establishments around Halifax. I have even been a pizza/donair cook. Being a lover of Donair's I have put together my own recipe for Donair. I have been making it for a couple of years now, and many people have told me it is one of the best Donair's they have had. So I hope you will enjoy it too.

Ingredients

4 serv.
  • lb of medium ground beef1 lb
  • teaspoon salt1 teaspoon
  • teaspoon flour1 teaspoon
  • teaspoon ground oregano1 teaspoon
  • teaspoon garlic powder1⁄2 teaspoon
  • teaspoon onion powder1⁄2 teaspoon
  • teaspoon italian seasoning1⁄2 teaspoon
  • teaspoon pepper1⁄2 teaspoon
  • teaspoon cayenne pepper1⁄4 teaspoon
  • DONIAR SAUCE
  • ml whole milk398 ml
  • ml sugar175 ml
  • teaspoons garlic powder2 teaspoons
  • teaspoons white vinegar4 -6 teaspoons

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    DONIR MEAT: take all the spices mix them together well add the spices to the meat a little at a time,working the spices through the meat well when spices are all worked into the meat,pick the meat up and throw it down into a steel mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Do this 20-30 times, kneading it after each time.

  3. 3

    When throwing the meat you need to throw it down with force.

  4. 4

    This gives the meat the proper texture, like you find at a donair shop. Once this is done cut the meat into 1 lb loafs; pat the meat like you would a hamburger, but make it into a loaf shape. Place the loaves on a broiler pan (if you don't have one a cookie sheet will do). Bake at 350°F for 1-1/4 hrs (turn them over at half the way through).

  5. 5

    Let the meat cool down before you cut it.

  6. 6

    Once it is cut up, you can fry it or not, depending if you like your donair meat crispy or not.

  7. 7

    DONAIR SAUCE: Open the can of milk pour it into a steel or glass bowl (not plastic--it won't set up properly in plastic). Pour the sugar & garlic powder in; mix this together well.

  8. 8

    Slowly add the vinegar and mix this together slowly. (If you mix the vinegar in too fast it won't thicken up properly).

  9. 9

    Once this is done cover and refrigerate.

  10. 10

    TO PREPARE DONAIRS: Heat the meat up in a frying pan till it is lightly crispy.

  11. 11

    Wet a pita bread and place it into a lightly oiled pan; cook it until it is soft on medium heat.

  12. 12

    Once this is done, take sauce & lightly coat the pita on one side.

  13. 13

    Place about 100g of meat and then pour more donair sauce over it.

  14. 14

    Place chopped onion & tomatoes on it.

  15. 15

    bon appitite!

  16. 16

    PS. The leftover meat can be kept in the freezer for future use. The sauce however will only last a couple of days once refrigerated.
