THE ORIGINAL DONAIR FROM THE EAST COAST OF CANADA



The Original Donair From the East Coast of Canada image

In the early 70's, a Greek restaurateur in the city of Halifax introduced the Donair. Within a few short years, virtually all pizzerias had added their version of the dish to their menus. Not to be confused with gyros, the Donair has a vastly different flavor. Originally the dish was made with ground lamb, but this proved too costly and ground beef was later substituted. Technically, this resulted in an aberration of sorts, as the final product was not what the originator had intended. What resulted, however, is the legendary East Coast Donair.

Time 9h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup white vinegar, or to taste
6 large pita bread rounds

Steps:

  • In a bowl, thoroughly mix together the ground beef, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, and oregano. Pack the spiced meat into a thick loaf shape, cover, and let rest in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place the meat loaf onto a baking sheet, and bake for 1 hour, flipping the loaf over halfway through cooking. Allow the meat loaf to cool so it holds together for slicing.
  • Mix together the evaporated milk and white sugar in a bowl, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and then add the vinegar by teaspoons, mixing together after each addition, to taste. Refrigerate the sauce until serving.
  • Slice the meat loaf into 1/4-inch thick slices, and brown the slices in a skillet over medium heat until both sides are brown and crisp, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Sprinkle the pita bread rounds with a little water, and press each onto a heated skillet to warm up.
  • To serve, place several slices of meat into a warmed pita bread, and spoon about 2 tablespoons of sauce over the meat. Roll the pita bread into a cone shape, wrap in aluminum foil to keep the sauce from dripping out, and serve.

AUTHENTIC DONAIRS WITH SWEET SAUCE



AUTHENTIC DONAIRS WITH SWEET SAUCE image

Categories     Beef

Yield 4 to 6 Donairs

Number Of Ingredients 20

For Donair meat
1 lb of medium ground beef (for better texture have the butcher run the beef through the grinder at least 3 times)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon flour
1 teaspoon ground oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
For the Sauce
1 can evaporated milk
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons of garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
4 tablespoons white vinegar
6 pitas
1 medium tomato, Chopped
1 onion, Chopped
2 cups shredded lettuce

Steps:

  • For Donair meat Place ground beef in a large metal bowl and set aside. Mix all the spices together in a small bowl(I use a morter & pestle to grind them together) Add spice mix to the meat a little at a time, working it through well. Pick the meat up and throw it down into the bowl(or if you have a large cutting board use it). Do this 20-30 times, kneading it after each throw.(When throwing the meat you need to do so with force this gives the meat the proper texture). Heat oven to 350F Form the meat into a loaf patting it down like you would a hamburger,but making it into a flat loaf shape. Place the loaf on a broiler pan (if you don't have one a cookie sheet will do). Bake for 1-1/4 hrs (turning over half way through). Let the meat cool down somewhat before cutting it into strips. (optional)Fry meat slices if you want crispy meat. Warm a frying pan over medium heat. Lightly wet each pita and cook it in the pan turning until softened. For the Sauce 1. Combine both milks with onion powder and garlic in a medium glass or metal bowl(not plastic, as for some reason it doesn't set up right in one). 2. Slowly add vinegar and stir lightly with a fork just until mixture thickens. Stir it too much and it will become runny. 3. Refrigerate until ready to use. To Serve Warm a frying pan over medium heat. Lightly wet each pita and cook it in the pan, turning until warm and softened. Lightly coat a pita on one side with donair sauce. Place some of the meat on the pita and pour more sauce over it. Add shredded lettuce chopped onion & tomato before folding and serve.

DONAIR SAUCE



Donair Sauce image

This recipe is from "All Things Donair". Not mine, just wanted to post it here for keeping. It is an adapted recipe from King of Donair on Halifax's Pizza Corner. Note: Cooking time is setting time

Provided by puh-leas-no-coconut

Categories     Sauces

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 1/2 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2/3 cup canned evaporated milk
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Stir canned milk, sugar and garlic powder until sugar is dissolved.
  • Add vinegar and continue mixing. The quicker you add the vinegar and the less you mix (I usually give the spoon 3 or 4 turns around the bowl), the thicker the sauce will be.
  • Let sauce sit for at least one hour in refrigerator before using. Eventually (hours to days later), the sauce may start to separate. DO NOT STIR IT. Simply skim the thick sauce off the top. It tastes fine, despite the appearance that all the vinegar has seeped out of it.
  • You should be able to get thick sauce simply by following the instructions in the top recipe. I can get mine a bit thicker than yogurt. Occasionally, I blow it and stir too much and the sauce gets thin again. If your sauce is not thick enough (I like spoons to stand up in it) follow the Ultra-Thick Donair Sauce Recipe I have posted.

Tips:

  • Choose the right meat: Beef is the traditional meat for donairs, but you can also use lamb or chicken.
  • Slice the meat thinly: This will help it cook evenly.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: This will help the meat stay moist and juicy.
  • Cook the meat over medium heat: This will help prevent it from drying out.
  • Make sure the meat is cooked through: The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a soft, fluffy pita bread: This will help hold all of the ingredients together.
  • Load up the pita bread with toppings: Some popular toppings include tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and cheese.
  • Drizzle the pita bread with sweet sauce: This is the key ingredient that makes donairs so delicious.

Conclusion:

Donairs are a delicious and satisfying meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner, and they can also be served as an appetizer or snack. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy meat, then you should definitely try making donairs.
