Donair

Servings:

Donairs are a delicacy prevalent on the Canadian east coast, centered on the city of Halifax. These pita sandwiches are very delicious and simple to prepare. Make a double batch of the meatloaf and freeze the second loaf for later. The second loaf will be better — you can slice the cold meatloaf thin and fry in a hot pan as you need them.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  2. 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. 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. 4 Make sauce: Combine evaporated milk, sugar, and vinegar in a jar with a lid; shake well to blend. Set aside.
  5. 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. 6 Layer meatloaf slices, tomatoes, and onion down the center of each pita round. Drizzle with sauce. Fold pitas in half towards the center.
