Seitan Doner Kebab

27 min

Main

Drawing inspiration from the shaved, roasted meat dishes of Greece, Turkey, and the Middle East—including gyro, kebabs, and shawarma—our veganized version of this satisfying midday or late-night favourite features strips of chewy seitan, lots of crisp vegetables, pillowy bread, and a couple of our favourite kebab-shop sauces.

Ingredients

Seitan

Tahini garlic yogurt

  • ⅓ cup (80 mL)
    unsweetened soy yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL)
  • 1
    garlic clove, crushed
  • ¼ tsp
    salt

Herby mayo

  • ½ cup (120 mL)
  • 2 Tbsp (2 g)
    fresh mint leaves
  • 2 Tbsp (2 g)
    fresh dill
  • 1 tsp (5 mL)
    fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp (5 mL)
    agave syrup (optional)
  • ¼ tsp
    salt

Spicy ketchup

Assembly

  • 1
    Turkish pide bread, cut in quarters
  • ¼
    head iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 1
    medium tomato, sliced
  • ¼
    cucumber, sliced
  • ¼
    small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4
    pickled pepperoncini peppers (optional)

Directions

  1. Thinly slice the seitan.
  2. Add the seitan, oil, and spice mix to a large pan and fry over medium-high heat until golden to your liking.
  3. Mix the tahini garlic yogurt ingredients in a small bowl.
  4. Blend the herby mayo ingredients in a small food processor. Alternatively, finely mince the herbs and mix in with the remaining ingredients.
  5. Mix the spicy ketchup ingredients in a small bowl.
  6. Optional step: press the bread in a preheated grill pan.
  7. Slice the bread open to create a pocket. Smear the herby and hot sauces on each side of the bread, and fill with the seitan and veggies.
  8. Serve with a pepperoncini pepper on the side, and drizzle with the tahini garlic sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

  • We used a version of pide called Ramazan pidesi, a thicker round pide.

Storage

  • Assembled sandwiches are best enjoyed immediately.
  • The components can be stored separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Loved this! Combined the yogurt tahini sauce with the dill and lemon because I was too lazy to make a second sauce and it was DELISH.
