Donair
Description
Donairs are made with fried meat slices sandwiched in a pita round with tomato, onion, and sweet, tangy sauce for a Canadian Halifax foodie treasure.
Ingredients
•
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
•
1/3 cup bread crumbs
•
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
•
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
•
1 teaspoon onion powder
•
1 teaspoon garlic powder
•
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
2/3 cup nonfat evaporated milk
•
2/3 cup sugar
•
1/3 cup vinegar
•
6 pita bread rounds
•
3 tomatoes, chopped
•
1 large onion, chopped
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
2
Prepare meatloaf: Mix together beef, bread crumbs, paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Press into an 8x8-inch baking dish.
3
Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, about 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of meatloaf should read at least 160 degrees F ( 72 degrees C.) Set aside until cool enough to slice, at least 30 minutes; the longer it cools, the easier it will be to slice.
4
Make sauce: Combine evaporated milk, sugar, and vinegar in a jar with a lid; shake well to blend. Set aside.
5
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cut meatloaf into thin slices and fry 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 pita rounds on each side to soften.
6
Layer meatloaf slices, tomatoes, and onion down the center of each pita round. Drizzle with sauce. Fold pitas in half towards the center.
