Donair Meat

Total Time: 2 hrs 50 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs 30 mins

Ingredients

• 3 lbs lean hamburger (triple ground*)
• 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 teaspoons pepper
• 1 -2 teaspoon red cayenne pepper (depending on your taste)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons oregano
• 3 teaspoons paprika
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Recipe

• 1 try to get your butcher to run the meat through the grinder a few times. a food processor will do the trick also.
• 2 combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
• 3 knead for 20 minutes.
• 4 shape into two tightly formed loaves.
• 5 bake on broiler pan for 2 to 2 1/2 hours at 300 degrees fahrenheit.
• 6 cool loaves and slice into thick slabs.
• 7 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.
