Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Seitan
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 60 ml Lemon juice
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 Green bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 1 cup Vegan tzatziki sauce
- 2 Tomatoes, sliced

Instructions
Cut the seitan into bite-sized cubes.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Add the seitan cubes to the marinade, tossing to ensure all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for more intense flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated seitan cubes onto skewers, alternating with onion wedges and bell pepper chunks.
Grill the skewers for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until seitan is well-browned and vegetables are slightly charred.
Warm the pita bread either on the grill or in a skillet for about 1 minute on each side.
Serve the grilled souvlaki skewers with warmed pita, vegan tzatziki sauce, sliced tomatoes, and cucumber.
Enjoy your Vegan Pork Souvlaki by wrapping the pita around the skewers and adding a dollop of vegan tzatziki.
