Donairs

Everyone from Canada (and Lebanon, probably) knows that donairs are delicious, but they are super bad for you. Well, the home made version is probably a lot better, especially if you use ground round, like we do :) Enjoy!

1 lb ground beef or 1 pkg ground round
1 heaping tbsp cayenne
4 tbsp garlic
salt & pepper, to taste
1 1/2 tbsp Italian seasoning or oregano
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup white sugar
OR 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp garlic or 1/2 tsp garlic powder
lettuce, chopped
tomato, chopped
onion, chopped
cheese, shredded
pitas

Mix beef, garlic, salt, pepper and oregano and cook 1 1/2 hours on 350, or cook ground round for 1/2 hour on 350.












Chop up your onion, lettuce, tomato and cheese













Mix milk, sugar, garlic and vinegar with an electric mixer until thickened. This takes forever but makes an excellent sauce.

I usually am lazy and use sweetened condensed milk but once you mix it with vinegar, it thickens almost immediately and you have to use it up before it becomes glue.







I found that the pitas wanted to tear when I put the stuff in them, so I made a hilarious steamer of a sieve and a pot of boiling water, then throw them in there for about a minute with the lid on and -wallah- easy to work with.


Anyway, throw beef, cheese, onion, lettuce, tomato and a lot of sweet sauce in the middle of the pita and wrap up. Eat. Yum.
