Different way to enjoy Pasta !!
baddessi: Yes! perfect way to cook it is on a rotisserie! lip smacking good that! Tell me how it turns out!
afternote* if you dont want to be brave and try the donair sauce you can always use tzitzi (sp) sauce instead.. just as yummy but mega garlic breath when u r done!
oh- thanks! You told me kinda how to do these but this recipe is great.
I'm actually one of those fortunate ones who does have a rotary-stick-cooker things. We got a rotisserie last Christmas- can I do the meat in that instead of broiling it?
I'll have to try this one soon and let you know how it comes out : )
harley: har har! careful I have wicked onion breath right now!! don't cross me or I will huff on ya!
Dessi one donair recipe coming up!
Donair Meat
* 3 pounds lean hamburger (triple ground*)
* 3/4 cup bread crumbs
* 2 tsp pepper
* 1-2 tsp cayenne red pepper (depending on your taste)
* 1 1/2 tsp oregano
* 3 tsp paprika
* 2 tsp onion powder
* 1 tsp garlic powder
* 1/2 tsp salt
*Try to get your butcher to run the meat through the grinder a few times. A food processor will do the trick also.
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Knead for 20 minutes. Shape into two tightly formed loaves. Bake on broiler pan for 2 to 2 1/2 hours at 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Cool loaves and slice into thick slabs. Meat can be frozen for future use. If (like me) you are not fortunate enough to own your own rotary-stick-cooker thing like the ones in the good shops, you may find that the inner parts of the loaf are not browned enough. This can be remedied by re-heating the meat in a frying pan. This browns it nicely and gives it that slightly chewier texture.
Preparation
Heat donair meat in a frying pan. Dip a pita bread in water and fry in frying pan to soften (this is VERY important). Place a generous amount of sauce on bread. Top with meat, chopped onions and tomatoes and finish off with lots more sauce. Put on some old clothes, then roll up or serve open face on a plate. Utensils are strictly forbidden.
ProperDonair Sauce
(adapted from King of Donair the original donair maker in Halifax Nova Scotia)
* 2/3 cup canned evaporated milk
* 2/3 cup sugar
* 1/4 cup white vinegar
* 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Stir canned milk, sugar and garlic powder until sugar is dissolved. Add vinegar and continue mixing. The quicker you add the vinegar and the less you mix (I usually give the spoon 3 or 4 turns around the bowl), the thicker the sauce will be. Let sauce sit for at least one hour in refrigerator before using. Eventually (hours to days later), the sauce may start to separate. DO NOT STIR IT. Simply skim the thick sauce off the top. It tastes fine, despite the appearance that all the vinigar has seeped out of it.
You should be able to get thick sauce simply by following the instructions in the top recipe. I can get mine a bit thicker than yogurt. Occasionally, I blow it and stir too much and the sauce gets thin again. If your sauce is not thick enough (I like spoons to stand up in it) follow the recipe below. It is my new favorite.
Ok this is a new one to me but my neighbour brought some by today and WOW is it good. A nice simple recipe to go along with bbq meat.

nobleheart2163@yahoo.ca has been a valid email for almost a decade.
try again.I was going to sent you the 2 recipes re my poste here.beacuse of your comment on them:
Can't get to those.[limited browser]
nobleheart: Can't get to those.[limited browser] But I like Cashew Chicken. A couple of my other favorites are Snow Peas with Beef, Sweet & Sour Pork [not breaded]. Seseme Chicken with Asparagus, Egg Foo Yong, Shrimp Fried Rice, & Abalone Soup. All of these together make a really nice company meal, which you can top off with Almond Cookies [not quite right unless you use Lard] and Mandarine Oranges.
Foxy Lady: I'm with you Foxy! We have a chef, who is Polish, but trained by a French Cordon Bleu Chef, so he does everything! My mother was born in China & didn't come back to US til she was 17. So my brother & I both cook Gourmet Chinese food. I like trying recipes from all over the world. When I lived in England one year, my Egyptian neighbor gave me a recipe for Rawanah, a type of cake with a lemon syrup in it. I have it written in both Arabic & English. [My husband also likes to cook, & he's from SC]
nobleheart: That's one of my favorites too. The plain boiled ones are called 'goozuhs' in Chinese, but no one ever calls them that now, since Won Ton is a more universal term.
lostlady: You mean 'suet' pudding, which is made with suet, or rendered beef [usually] fat, like you put out for the birds to eat in winter. This is a sweet pudding made with spices, sour milk, molasses, & raisins, then put in a mold and steamed. It's more like a moist cake than what we think of as pudding. It's usually served with Hard Sauce, for holidays. It is not the same as Yorkshire pudding, which is like a big popover[batter] poured into a roasting pan when the roast is done & baked while roast is 'resting' or baked at the side of the roast for the last half hour. It is just flour, salt, eggs & milk. Both of these are old English recipes like Charles Dickins might have written about.
nobleheart: Shortbread is best made with real, saltfree butter.
Pasties [rhymes with nasty] have all kinds of recipes available, some with lard, some without, some using turnips, some not. You need to try some and decide for yourself what kinds you like.
Chinese dumplings-Are you talking about Won Tons or Potstickers? You can buy frozen Won Ton skins & fill them with chopped meat, veg, whatever. Then they're either deep-fried or boiled [often in soup] usually shaped in a circle or square then folded over into a half-circle or triangle before cooking. Potstickers are more specialized, with at thicker dough-skin, usually a filled circle that is pulled together at the top & twisted around, then boiled or braised in a sauce.
satinjade: i've never heard of yorkshire pudding. but i typed (yorkshire pudding) in on the Internet and it brought up a recipe, maybe the one you are looking for....
Foxy Lady: Thanks Foxy Lady...i have looked too ...most recipes are a Pop-Over type . I'll have to ask some of my family , if they have my Mom's recipe .
