Plant-based Gyros? Didn’t think it was possible? BELIEVE IT!
Plant-based Gyros is, in fact, quite simple to make and tastes very similar to its animal-based counterpart…although much, much healthier!
Here are the simple ingredients and directions. Let me know what you think!
3 Whole grain Pita
1 packet of Upton’s Naturals Seitan/Original
2 TBSP Soy Sauce
1 Tsp Cumin
1 Tsp oregano
3 drops of Liquid Smoke
1 Tsp Onion Powder
Dash of Pepper
2-3 diced raw garlic
mushroom broth to coat the sauté pan
Tzatziki Sauce:
1/2 cup of tart plant-based yogurt
2 tsp fresh dill
2 inches of diced cucumber
2-3 tsp of lemon juice, fresh
dash of salt
Accoutrements:
onion slices
tomato slices
Directions:
Cut upton’s naturals into 1/8″ strips. In a bowl, coat with the ingredients and mix. Add mushroom broth to a hot sautee pan and add coated seitan. Cook. When fully warmed and cooked, put on low.
Warm Pita. Mix Tzatziki Sauce ingredients. Put aside. Take plant-based gyros off heat and put on warm pita.
Cover in Tzatziki sauce and tomato and onion…and let me know if your family can tell the difference besides feeling lighter and healthier than usual after eating gyros.
