Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Seitan
- 150 grams Soy yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Flatbreads or pita
- 1 large Tomato, sliced

Instructions
In a bowl, mix together the soy yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Cut the seitan into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are well-coated. Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated seitan strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly crispy and golden brown.
Warm the flatbreads or pitas in a dry skillet or in the oven wrapped in foil.
To assemble, lay the flatbread on a plate, add a portion of the cooked seitan, and top with slices of tomato, cucumber, and red onion. Add a handful of shredded lettuce.
Drizzle the assembled kebab with tahini sauce.
Roll or fold the flatbread around the fillings. Use parchment paper to wrap around one end for easier eating if desired.
Serve immediately while warm, accompanied by extra tahini sauce for dipping.
