Instructions
Place the soy curls in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Let them soak for about 10 minutes until they are rehydrated, then drain and squeeze out any excess water.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, ground coriander, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well.
Add the rehydrated soy curls to the spice mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated soy curls to the skillet and cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and slightly crispy.
While the soy curls are cooking, warm the pita bread in a separate pan or oven.
To assemble the vegan shoarma, fill each pita bread with a portion of the soy curl mixture.
Top with slices of tomato, cucumber, red onion, and chopped parsley.
Drizzle with vegan yogurt or tahini sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy this healthy, vegan take on shoarma!
