DONAIR MEAT

Steps:

• Try to get your butcher to run the meat through the grinder a few times. A food processor will do the trick also.
• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
• Knead for 20 minutes.
• Shape into two tightly formed loaves.
• Bake on broiler pan for 2 to 2 1/2 hours at 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Cool loaves and slice into thick slabs.
• Meat can be frozen for future use. If (like me) you are not fortunate enough to own your own rotary-stick-cooker thing like the ones in the good shops, you may find that the inner parts of the loaf are not browned enough. This can be remedied by re-heating the meat in a frying pan. This browns it nicely and gives it that slightly chewier texture.

DONAIR MEAT AND DONAIR SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• 2. In a cup or small bowl, mix together the salt, oregano, flour, black pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
• 3. Place the ground beef in a large bowl, and use your hands to blend in the spice mixture.
• **TIP: To get the smooth texture of meat that you see in a real donair shop, here is a trick. Mix ingredients in a steel mixing bowl on a sturdy surface. Pick all the meat up out of the bowl and throw it down -with force- back into the bowl about 20 times, kneading it after each throw. This also helps the meat hold together better when you slice it.Sounds silly, but you will see a difference when done this way compared to not.
• 4. Form the meat into a loaf, and place it on a broiler pan. (If you do not have one, a baking sheet will do.).
• 5. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, (Uncovered) turning the loaf over about half way through. This will ensure even cooking.
• 6. When done baking, let cool almost completely. (It does slice up better if you chill the meat overnight before slicing, but that is more personal preference.).
• 7. To make the donair sauce, mix together the evaporated milk, sugar and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the white vinegar, adding 1 teaspoon at a time, until thickened to your desired consistency.
• 8. To Make up some Donairs: (Or how we do it here in NS.:p).
• Use Fresh or Store bought Pitas:.
• Warm your Pita and meat up.
• Lay your pita out flat and place meat on half of the pita. Sprinkle with a generous amount of Mozzarella Cheese. Top with a sprinkling of both Fresh Chopped Tomatoes and Sweet Onions. Fold and enjoy.
• Sauce served on the side.
• **Note:Recipe Doubles well and I recommend it when making it. Meats can be made from only Gr. Beef, or a combination of Lamb, Veal and Gr. Beef. for a more authentic taste. (but again this is personal preference).
