Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g seitan
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 5 ml liquid smoke
- 30 ml olive oil
- 15 ml lemon juice
- 5 g garlic powder
- 5 g onion powder
- 10 g paprika
- 5 g cumin
- 3 g black pepper
- 3 g salt
- 1 medium thinly sliced onion
- 1 large thinly sliced tomato
- 4 whole lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces vegan flatbreads or pita
- 120 ml vegan yogurt
- 15 g fresh mint leaves
- 15 g fresh dill
- 0.5 unpeeled cucumber
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, liquid smoke, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Slice the seitan into thin strips and place them into the marinade. Stir thoroughly to ensure all pieces are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated seitan strips to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the strips are browned and slightly crispy.
While the seitan cooks, prepare the vegan yogurt sauce by blending the vegan yogurt, fresh mint leaves, fresh dill, and half of the cucumber (grated) into a smooth mixture.
Lightly toast the vegan flatbreads or pitas in an oven or on a skillet for a couple of minutes until warm.
On each flatbread, place a leaf of lettuce, followed by a generous layer of cooked seitan.
Add the thinly sliced onion and tomato on top of the seitan. Drizzle the prepared yogurt sauce over the top and wrap the flatbread around the filling, securing with foil or parchment if necessary for easy handling.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Vegan Beef Doner Kebab!
