Donair Burger

The Donair Burger is another way to enjoy the classic Donair. Made with Toasted Garlic Buttered Buns filled with Donair Meat & Topped with Donair Sauce, Tomatoes and Onions. Optionally with cheese.

This recipe uses JAH Halifax Donair Spice. If you’re really in a pinch, you can make the standard donair recipe as mentioned in my Donair Meat Post.

Types of Donair Burgers

Sliced Donair Meat stacked on the Hamburger Bun or Donair Meat Shaped into a Hamburger Patty. These are the two ways you will see them prepared.

Donair Burger Patty

Donair Burger Patties are easy enough. Instead of shaping into a loaf, portion out to 90g or larger burger patties. If making this as Donair Hamburger Patties, be sure to let the Patties sit in the Fridge for an hour or longer or freeze them prior to cooking, just the same as burgers.

Thinly Sliced Donair Burgers

This is the style you usually see at some Donair Shops as the meat is just sliced thinly sliced off the spit or doner and stacked on Hamburger Buns. If making this at home, then the donair loaf needs to be cooked first, then thinly sliced and cooked again in a skillet before stacking the burgers.
