Donair
Donairs are a delicacy prevalent in the Canadian east coast, and certainly centered on the City of Halifax, the are very simple to prepare and very delicious.
Even if you don’t have a rotating spit, you can still make a pretty tasty donair from home, using a steak, some marinade and your oven.
Add the meat to a warmed pita, top with tzatziki, hummus, tomato, cucumber, olives, shredded lettuce and feta and you’ve got yourself a delicious donair or “doner” sandwich.
