Instruktioner

Make Seitan:

Heat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a food processor, I pulsed the onion, garlic, tahini, ketchup, nutritional yeast flakes, liquid smoke, water, and dry spices together but you could do this in a large bowl.

Or – mix all the wet ingredients (onion, garlic, liquid smoke, water, ketchup, tahini) in one bowl, and the dry (wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, basil, oregano; pepper) in another and combine them. It comes together fast and looks like raw hamburger – if hamburger was doughy.

Grease a loaf pan & press this shit in there, COVER IT WITH FOIL and bake it for about an hour. Or just kinda shape it on some foil, wrap it up, and bake it.

Make Gyro:

When you are ready to make the sandwich, slice off some seitan and fry it up until warmed through.

Grab pita or naan and layer the things on it you choose – like garlic paste, seitan, onion, lettuce, tomato, and tzatziki. Squeeze a lemon on there if you are feeling all summer fresh!
