Vegan Kebab with Seitan
Savoury

Vegan kebab doesn't work? It does and that is really more than tasty! This kebab is prepared with Seitan Fix and tastes more than delicious! So the seitan is almost like real gyros. And don't worry, the recipe looks more elaborate than it really is. Basically it is not difficult at all!

Duration 30 minutes
Ingredients for 3 Kebab
Seitan Base:
  • 100g Seitan Fix
  • 120g cold water
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable stock powder or spice paste
  • gyros or grill spice mixture¹
  • salt, pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil

  • Tsatsiki
  • vegetables of your choice:
  • lettuce (coleslaw, ...)
  • tomatoes
  • paprika
  • onions
  • avocado
  • ...
Preparation
Seitan Base:
  1. mix Seitan Fix with dry spice mixture and vegetable stock powder in a bowl
  2. gradually add water and knead vigorously until a firm mass is formed, adding a little water if necessary
  3. cook the seitan mixture either in a saucepan for 20-25 minutes on a low heat or in a food processor for 30-40 minutes (the seitan should not be hard as stone, but a little soft, but not so soft that it falls apart)
  4. drain in a sieve and let it cool down, if you like you can carefully press out some liquid by hand
  5. cut into slices and then chop it a little bit to get a gyroscopic shape
  6. put it in a bread tin, add olive oil and again 1 tablespoon of the spice mixture, let it steep a little (at best prepare it the day before)²
  7. heat some olive oil in a frying pan, add the side pieces and fry over medium heat, turning it over and over until it is slightly browned and crispy
Prepare the Kebab:
  1. prepare the tsatsiki
  2. toast or grill the pita bread a little if you like and cut it open
  3. spread tsatsiki on the inside of the bread, add vegetable and salad filling
  4. add side filling
  5. another blob of tsatsiki on top, done and bon appétit!
Remarks
¹ If you do not have a spice mix at home, you can also add a selection of the following spices (depending on what you have): garlic powder, paprika powder, oregano rubbed, rosemary, thyme rubbed, ground coriander, ground cumin, chili powder, marjoram rubbed. Especially paprika is important for the colour.
² It is really important that you not only season the Seitan Fix before cooking it, but also marinate it. That way the mass really gets a lot of taste. Otherwise it can happen very quickly that it becomes tasteless.
