I enjoyed these donairs...I ran out of cayenne and only used one teaspoon and it was plenty spicy. I agree with others that the sauce is too runny (and I even left out a little of the milk) but it was still good. I added several sprinkles of garlic powder to the sauce.

i thought this was great. this sauce recipe looks better than dash's recipe on this site. i used this method--- Stir canned milk, sugar and garlic powder until sugar isdissolved. Add vinegar and continue mixing. The quicker you add thevinegar and the less you mix (I usually give the spoon 3 or 4 turnsaround the bowl), the thicker the sauce will be. Let sauce sit for atleast one hour in refrigerator before using. Eventually (hours to dayslater), the sauce may start to separate. DO NOT STIR IT. Simply skimthe thick sauce off the top.

I've never been to Halifax, but I have to say, this was mighty tasty. I was craving Turkish Doner...and used the meat recipe to satisfy that craving. Would use 1/2 the cayenne next time--but other than that, great. Didn't have any evap. milk--so made tzatziki sauce. So good and easy. A lot healthier too than typical doner, as I used 93% lean ground beef. Thanks!

Really good recipe, I add 1 tsp of cumin and an extra tsp of garlic powder to the meat and have a different recipe for the sauce which includes garlic. Make this frequently and usually make 5lbs of meat at a time because it freezes so well!

I made these donairs for supper the other night and my husband can't stop raving about them! I followed the recipe exactly and couldn't believe how easy they were to make! The meat sliced like it was roast beef and it was easy to get very thin pieces. For some reason though, the sauce seemed like the recipe called for too much milk. It was too runny. I did mince up some fresh garlic until it was a smooth paste and added it to the sauce. Though runny, the taste was awesome! I left it in the fridge until it was chilled.Next time I think I will use less milk.I can't wait until I make them again!

My husband is from just outside of Halifax, and he thought 'we are on to something good'. That means the recipe is pretty darn close to the real thing. We prefer the sauce to be a bit more tart, so I added more vinegar than the recipe called for.

I have been using this very same recipe for years now, with the addition of 1 tsp of garlic. Just like that other Maritimer. I use the sauce for quite a few other dishes as well.
