Canadian Donair
A staple in Canada since it was introduced to Halifax in the 70s, this tasty (and easy!) recipe will satisfy your craving without having to get wasted at bar and staying out ’til 2am when you don’t appreciate the flavour anyway.
Ingredients
- 907 g ground beef (preferably medium)
- 1 tbsp ground oregano
- 2 tsp all purpose flour
- 1.5 tsp italian seasoning
- 1.5 tsp garlic powder
- 1.5 tsp onion powder
- .25 tsp cayanne
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp pepper or to taste
Sweet Sauce
- 354 g can evaporated milk
- .75 cup sugar
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 4 tsp vinegar
Fixins'
- 6-8 large pitas
- 1 large tomato
- 1/2 head of iceberg lettuce, shredded
- mozarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) (I only add yank units because all of our appliances seem to have this bastardised unit of measurement).
- Mix oregano, flour, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and salt in a cup.
- In a large bowl, sprinkle the spice mix onto the ground beef. Pick up and beat half of your meat with by chucking it onto a baking pan about 20 times, kneading it after each throw. Do it again with the other half. This helps the meat to hold together.
- Massage your meat into two tasty-ass loaves.
- Bake in the preheated oven for at least 45 minutes. Check your loaves to make sure it reaches a temperature of 71.1°C (160°F)
- Enjoy!
