• 9 oz seitan (250 g)
• 6 pita bread
• 1 red onion
• 1/2 red bell pepper
• 1/2 yellow bell pepper
• 6 romaine lettuce leave
• Vegan yogurt sauce to taste

For the marinade:

• 1 tsp onion powder
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp curry powder
• 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
• 4 tbsp tahini
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• Black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Cut the seitan and the veggies into strips. Set aside.
2. Mix all the marinade ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Add the seitan and mix with a spoon or using your hands. Cover the bowl (I used a dishcloth) and let stand for 1 to 2 hours in the fridge.
3. Preheat the oven to 355ºF or 180ºC.
4. Place the seitan onto a baking tray with some parchment paper and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Stir every 10 minutes.
5. Heat the pita bread using the oven, a skillet or a toaster (optional) and fill it with the seitan, veggies and some yogurt sauce to taste.

Qalayet banadoura - Palestinian Tomatoes Dip

 Not sure yet, it definitely took WAY more than 15 minutes to simmer and mine still didn't look like his, I don't know what I did wrong or if the tomatoes were too watery or what (his looked like it had way more substance at the mash stage), but it's quite yummy. 

Palestinian Tomatoes

¼ cup olive oil in pan over medium heat

Add one green chili that just wash and chop the top and tail off

Fry for a few minutes until brown on both sides (a bit)

Then add 6 thinly sliced cloves of garlic and let golden for 30-60 seconds

Add 6 (750g) vine-ripened tomatoes cut in half, sliced side down. Cover with lid for 5 minutes to let steam. 

Remove the skins with a fork 

Season with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper

Mash it up

Simmer wit lid off 10-15 minutes until tomato has reduced
