Bonita’s Special Note

1. This recipe is a viewers request, it’s not a NL traditional recipe but it have been available here in a few restaurants for over 30 years or more. The younger generation got use to this spicy seasoned meat served on flat bread and topped with a sweet donair sauce. This is not anywhere close to the original donairs and sauce recipe, but a mixture of spices that taste close to the donair I remember eating. Enjoy!
