Recipe Summary Donair
Donairs are a delicacy prevalent in the Canadian east coast, and certainly centered on the City of Halifax, they are very simple to prepare and very delicious. Make a double batch of the meatloaf, and freeze the second loaf for later, in fact the second loaf will be better! When cold you can slice it thinner and fry up the slices in the frying pan as you need them.Ingredients | Halifax Donair1 ½ pounds ground beef⅓ cup bread crumbs1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (Optional)1 ½ teaspoons paprika1 teaspoon onion powder1 teaspoon garlic powder1 teaspoon ground black pepper½ teaspoon salt⅔ cup nonfat evaporated milk⅔ cup sugar⅓ cup vinegar6 pita bread rounds3 tomatoes, chopped1 large onion, choppedDirectionsPreheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, bread crumbs, cayenne pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and salt. Press into an 8x8 inch square baking dish, or casserole dish.Bake for 2 hours in the preheated oven, until cooked through. Set aside to cool for at least 1/2 hour, the meat will slice even better if it is actually chilled completely.To make the sauce, combine the evaporated milk, sugar and vinegar in a jar with a lid, and shake well to blend. Set aside to thicken.Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and slice off thin slices of the meat loaf. Fry the slices briefly in the hot skillet, until browned on each side. Remove from the skillet, and keep warm. Flick a little water onto the hot skillet, and brown the pita breads a little on each side to soften.Load up one side of pitas with meat slices, tomatoes and onion. Spoon sauce over the filling, and fold pitas in half, then towards the center. Voila, you're eating!Info | Halifax Donairprep:
