Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 small Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Tahini
- 3 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Finely chop the onion and garlic. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground paprika, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well by hand until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a baking sheet, form the beef mixture into a loaf shape. Place in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, until fully cooked and browned on the outside.
While the beef donair loaf is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Dice the tomato, slice the cucumber and red onion, and keep the lettuce leaves whole for wrapping.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, and water until smooth and creamy. Adjust the water amount for your desired consistency for the sauce.
Once the beef loaf is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing thinly.
Warm the pita bread slightly in the oven or on a skillet to make them pliable.
To assemble the donairs, place a few slices of beef donair on each pita. Add a generous amount of diced tomato, sliced cucumber, and red onion. Add a lettuce leaf and drizzle the tahini sauce over the top.
Roll up each pita to enclose the filling. Serve the donairs warm, and enjoy your dairy-free treat!
