https://simpleveganblog.com/low-fat-vegan-kebab/




Ingredients

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.
