Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Vital wheat gluten
- 4 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1.5 cups Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 1 head Lettuce
- 2 medium Tomato
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 cup Vegan yogurt
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic
- 0.5 bunch Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vegetable broth, tomato paste, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 3-5 minutes, until it becomes stretchy.
Shape the dough into a log and wrap it tightly in aluminum foil, twisting the ends to seal.
Place the wrapped seitan on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, turning halfway through.
While the seitan is baking, prepare the garlic sauce by mixing the vegan yogurt, minced fresh garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Prepare the vegetables by washing and slicing the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
Once the seitan is done baking, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
Warm the pita bread slightly in the oven or on a skillet.
Assemble the kebab by placing seitan slices, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and onion onto each piece of pita bread. Drizzle with the vegan garlic sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Authentic Doner Kebab!
