grilling Donairs & Grilled Romaine Lettuce

[BamsBBQ]

approx 3 pounds of ground meat(i used veal and pork)
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp thyme
1 1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp montreal steak spice
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

mix together...overworking is good here or you can run it through your food mixer. shape into a roll and let it sit in the fridge overnight, covered.

i used a grill with a rotissiere and cooked it until it hit 155*F and let residual heat take it the rest of the way.

the sauce i used tonight
1 bottle of kraft cucumber salad dressing
1 small container of plain yogurt
lots of black pepper

the traditional sauce
2/3 c. Canned Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/4 c. White Vinegar
1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
Stir the milk and garlic powder together. Add vinegar quickly. You will have to stir the sauce for a couple of minutes in order for the vinegar and milk to mix properly. Leave it sit for a few minutes.

you will also need
tomatoes
onions, sliced paper thin
pita bread

donair is the canadian version.. called a Halifax Donair which traditionally around here is made from beef

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Cool, thanks.

Bam, never grilled romaine, but have you ever grilled radicchio? It's great with olive oil and sea salt.

yup thats how i grill the romaine..i just add some fresh cracked black pepper...add a little fresh parmesan cheese...also add a splash of caesar dressing when serving..

i like the radicchio alot...i also like grilled endive done the same way

Doesn't look like a doner. more like a giant meatloaf.

Döner is good, but I like kefta.

so does this...its just done horizontally(which use to be the traditional way) instead of vertical according to this

but i never said it was a doner..lol
its a donair...canadian version..lol

This thread has me in the mood for merguez. There's a place by me where they make the pita right in front of you and stuff it with your choice... the merguez rocks!

The original is layers of meat. the cheap version is part minced, part layers. it's never a meatloaf.

Sorry, I don't eat pork. try using lamb instead.

Looks great Bam. The Donairs I usually buy, I just found out are a mix of ground beef and lamb but many places just use beef. I usually skip on the garlic sauce and go with tahini or tzatziki and I also love the pickled turnips.

i really wanted to use lamb but it is really hard to find it here unless you want to sacrifice lamb chops which run about $16/lb....i also want to find an old beer keg and build a outdoor rotissiere.

[POTAWIE]

It sure looks juicy. Do you ever make kefta? It's basically like spiced meatballs cooked on skewers, served in a pita. Omri wouldn't be so hard on you since it's supposed to be all ground meat lol.

LOLOLOL

nope i havent made kefta yet... got a TNT recipe for me? i have lots of pitas,lots skewers and would like to try something new.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

I don't, but this (sometimes it's called kofta) looks good. Of course, spice it up! (hab powder, or diced habs, etc.)

 

[The Hot Pepper]

By the way, they are not meatball shaped... they are more flat and oval (this shape is better than the sausage shape... the sausage shape is more Indian).
