Vegetarian Turkish Doner Kebab Wrap
Turkish doner kebab sandwiches - similar to a Greek gyro or a Middle Eastern shawarma - will always remind me of Germany. Yes, Germany. Any German city worth its salt has doner stands on practically every street corner.
I gave up meat the week I got home from a döner binge in Germany... but I didn't give up doner! Made with seitan, they are lower in fat than the real thing - but they taste absolutely authentic!
Prep time: 10 min; Total time: 10 min
Ingredients
- 3 oz. seitan, in bite sized pieces
- Shredded lettuce
- Diced tomatoes
- Onions, diced
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 tbsp. organic canola oil
- 1/4 c. plain yogurt or Veganaise (optional)
- 1 tbsp. fresh herbs, minced (optional)
- Hot sauce (optional)
- 1 tbsp. garlic, minced (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Pita bread or whole wheat tortilla
In a cast iron pan, heat oil and seitan over a medium heat. Add cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally, until the seitan is cooked through.
Compose your sandwich inside your pita bread with seitan, lettuce, tomato, and onions.
If you wish, make a sauce for your sandwich with yogurt and herbs or yogurt and garlic - or use hot sauce. If you are vegan, use Veganaise in place of yogurt.
Tips
To add nutrition to your döner, use romaine lettuce, spinach, or another vitamin-packed green
leafy veggie in place of iceberg lettuce.
