NEW BRUNSWICK DONAIRS



New Brunswick Donairs image

This is a recipe given to me by a co-worker. It mimics very well the donairs that are served in this part of the country. I like this recipe because it doesn't have a lot of preservatives in it. I usually use lean hamburger when I make it. I serve it with the Donair Sauce receipe that I have also posted.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound ground beef
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
¾ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons garlic powder
4 teaspoons white vinegar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a cup or small bowl, mix together the salt, oregano, flour, black pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • Place the ground beef in a large bowl, and use your hands to blend in the spice mixture. If you want the smooth texture of meat that you see in a real donair shop, you must do this in a steel mixing bowl and on a sturdy surface. Pick up the meat, and throw it down with force about 20 times, kneading it after each throw. This also helps the meat hold together better when you slice it.
  • Form the meat into a loaf, and place it on a broiler pan. If you do not have one, a baking sheet will do.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, turning the loaf over about half way through. This will ensure even cooking. Serve, or allow the meat to chill before slicing and reheating.
  • 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.

GYROS QUICK AND EASY (DONAIR / DONAR)



Gyros Quick and Easy (Donair / Donar) image

***Update: There was a typo with the salt amount and it has now been changed to 2 teaspoons. Also, based on the review, I would like to clarify that for the strips, you compress the meat with your hands like you would make a burger, but shape it a bit thinner and strip shaped.*** This is very flavorful and quick since you just pan fry thin strips of the ground meat. Feel free to experiment with the toppings... For greek go with tzatziki, tomato and onion (even french fries are great in this combo). For donar (like you get in Europe) top with aioli and harissa with coleslaw, onion and tomato. For donair (like you get in Canada) top with donair sauce, tomato and onion. This makes a good amount so feel free to form and freeze a portion of the meat for a super quick meal or half the recipe. Please note that I have not included recipes for the different sauces, but there are many recipes available on Zaar. Update: I've added a recipe for a quick version of the aioli and harissa sauces that usually accompany the donar kebabs in Europe; Recipe #292170 .

DASH RIPROCK'S REAL HALIFAX DONAIR



Dash Riprock's Real Halifax Donair image

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.

Categories     Meat

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb of medium ground beef
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
398 ml whole milk
175 ml sugar
2 teaspoons garlic powder
4 -6 teaspoons white vinegar

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Do this 20-30 times, kneading it after each time.
  • When throwing the meat you need to throw it down with force.
  • 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).
  • Let the meat cool down before you cut it.
  • Once it is cut up, you can fry it or not, depending if you like your donair meat crispy or not.
  • 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.
  • Slowly add the vinegar and mix this together slowly. (If you mix the vinegar in too fast it won't thicken up properly).
  • Once this is done cover and refrigerate.
  • TO PREPARE DONAIRS: Heat the meat up in a frying pan till it is lightly crispy.
  • Wet a pita bread and place it into a lightly oiled pan; cook it until it is soft on medium heat.
  • Once this is done, take sauce & lightly coat the pita on one side.
  • Place about 100g of meat and then pour more donair sauce over it.
  • Place chopped onion & tomatoes on it.
  • bon appitite!
  • 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.
