I love that I’ve been cooking Vegan for over 1 year now and am still finding new ways to cook with Tempeh and Tofu! This Tempeh Gyro hit the spot, and I think the Tofu Tzatziki was even better than regular tzatziki 🙂 I also served these with oven roasted potatoes and steamed asparagus
Ingredients – Tempeh Gyros
-8 oz package of tempeh, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
-2 cloves garlic, minced
-1.5 teaspoons oregano
-1 teaspoon onion flakes
-1 teaspoon salt
-1 teaspoon ground black pepper
-1/2 Tablespoon garlic powder
-1 teaspoon thyme
-4 Tablespoons vegetable broth
-2 Tablespoons Bragg Liquid Aminos
-1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
-Juice of 1/2 a lemon
-Wraps/toppings —I used lettuce, tomato, celery, and avocado — of your choice
Directions:
-Combine all of the ingredients for the marinade (except for the tempeh) in a shallow dish & whisk to combine. Add the tempeh slices & marinade for a couple of hours, or overnight, turning tempeh pieces a few times
-When the tempeh is done marinating heat a skillet & add all of the tempeh along with the marinade. Brown the tempeh on both sides
Ingredients – Tofu Tzatziki
-1 1/4 Cup silken tofu
-1/2 Tablespoon garlic powder
-1 clove garlic
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1/2 teaspoon dill weed
-1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
-1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
-1 Tablespoon vegetable broth
-1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
-Juice of 1/2 a lemon
-Desired amount of diced cucumber
Directions:
-Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor & process until smooth. Pour the mixture into a container or bowl & stir in the diced cucumber. Store in the refrigerator to marinate for a couple hours
-When ready to eat, take the tzatziki out of the refrigerator to take off the chill. Wrap the tortillas in foil & gently warm in the oven
Ingredients – Roasted Red Potatoes
-Potatoes
-Oil, about 2 Tablespoons
-Mrs.Dash spice mix
-1/2 onion, chopped
-Desired amount of whole garlic cloves
Directions:
-Toss all ingredients in oven safe dish
-Roast at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 – 60 minutes
And then I just steamed some asparagus!
