Recipe Summary Dash's Donair
For the true donair fan. This recipe is tried and tested. If you enjoy Halifax donairs, then you'll love this recipe. When making this recipe, use only the finest spices available; they make a huge difference.Ingredients | Halifax Donair Milton Main Street East Milton On1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon ground oregano1 teaspoon all-purpose flour½ teaspoon ground black pepper½ teaspoon Italian seasoning½ teaspoon garlic powder½ teaspoon onion powder¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper1 pound ground beef1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk¾ cup white sugar2 teaspoons garlic powder4 teaspoons white vinegar, or as neededDirectionsPreheat 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.This cuts better if you chill the meatloaf overnight before slicing.Info | Halifax Donair Milton Main Street East Milton Onprep:
