Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dried soy curls
- 500 milliliters vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces pita bread
- 1 medium cucumber
- 2 medium tomato
- 1 small red onion
- 200 grams vegan tzatziki sauce
- 1 bunch fresh parsley
Instructions
Place the dried soy curls in a large bowl and cover with hot vegetable broth. Let them soak for about 10 minutes until they are soft and rehydrated. Drain well and squeeze out the excess liquid.
In a separate bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the marinade until well blended.
Add the drained soy curls to the marinade bowl, stirring to coat evenly. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to be absorbed.
While the soy curls are marinating, slice the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion thinly. Chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the marinated soy curls. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side or wrap them in foil and heat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.
To assemble the gyros, spread vegan tzatziki sauce on each pita. Top with cooked soy curls, cucumber slices, tomato slices, red onion slivers, and chopped parsley.
Fold the pita to enclose the filling and serve immediately. Enjoy your Vegan Chicken Gyros!
