Donairs hail from Halifax, Nova Scotia, but can now be found all over Canada. A variation of the Turkish doner kebab, these large pitas stuffed full of crispy spiced meat have legions of loyal followers. Me included! Recipe can be doubled or tripled. (Sauce needs overnight chilling. Make night before!)
Mix all thoroughly in large mixing bowl. Form into flattened loaf shape.
Line baking sheet with foil for easy clean up, and top with cooling rack. Place loaf on top.
Bake for 45 minutes on 350 degrees or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Once cooked, thinly slice loaf.
Quickly run pita under the tap, and place in hot frypan. Brown on both sides.
Spread pre-made donair sauce on pita. Top with meat, and diced veggies, drizzle with more sauce.
If you are able to get large pitas, they can be rolled and eaten like a wrap. This is the traditional way of serving. However, if you are like me and can only get small pitas, I eat them flat, like a pizza.
You can also make subs and pizzas with it.
Donair Sauce
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 can sugar
1/2 can vinegar
1 tsp garlic powder
Empty can of milk into mixing bowl. Fill milk can with sugar and empty into bowl with milk. Fill milk can 1/2 full of vinegar and add with 1 tsp garlic powder.
Mix for at least 10 minutes. Thank goodness for stand mixers! If you don’t have one, just use a hand mixer.
Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight. It will thicken upon refrigerating. Makes lots.

I have never heard of these. Guess they haven’t made their way to East Texas !! My husband isn’t very adventurous so I can hardly wait for my sister to come for a visit. We love to try new recipes!
