Mouthwatering Tofu Gyros: A Vegan Twist on a Greek Classic

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Greek gyros, traditionally made from lamb, receive a makeover in tofu! These are a favorite in our house. So easy and a great combination of flavors. Though I love the cucumber sauce, plain yogurt would do. (Actually pronounced year-oh :-) ) Also good leftover for a lunch box, just wrap the assembled sandwich in wax paper.

    Tofu Gyros, Greek gyros, traditionally made from lamb, receive a makeover in tofu! These are a favorite in our house So easy and a great combination of flavors Though I love the cucumber sauce, plain yogurt would do (Actually pronounced year-oh 🙂 ) Also good leftover for a lunch box, just wrap the assembled sandwich in wax paper , I really liked these but hubby wasn’t a fan so I have given it a four I adored the cucumber sauce and I can see myself using it for lots of things! Thank you for a lovely recipe! Made for the Greek leg of ZWT6 (Voracious Vegebonds)

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Note: You Can Make the Tofu Strips Chewier by Freezing the Tofu Overnight and Letting It Thaw in the Fridge. Be Warned, Thawing Takes a Couple of Days. It Will Be Different but Definitely Yummy Either Way.

    2
    Done

    Cut the Tofu Into 8 Slices. Lay on a Clean Dishtowel and Fold the Other Half of the Towel Over Top, Pressing Gently to Extract Excess Moisture. Then Cut Each Slice in Half Lengthwise.

    3
    Done

    Mix the Marinade Ingredients (tamari to Garlic) Together.

    4
    Done

    Spread the Tofu in a Wide, Shallow Container and Pour the Marinade Over. Use a Fork to Flip the Slices Around Till All Are Evenly Coated. They Will Soak Up Most of the Marinade. Let Sit, Covered in the Fridge, at Least One Hour or Overnight.

    5
    Done

    to Make the Cucumber Sauce, Combine All Ingredients in a Food Processor and Process Until Fairly Smooth, but Still Chunky. Adjust Salt and Pepper. Refrigerate.

    6
    Done

    a Few Minutes Before Serving, Heat a Large Non-Stick Skillet Over Medium. When Hot, Add the Tofu Strips, Letting Them Get Golden-Brown Before Turning. This Doesn't Take Very Long!

    7
    Done

    to Serve: Place 2 or 3 Tofu Strips Across the Middle of a Pita, Top With Salad Fixings, and Add Cucumber Sauce to Taste. Fold Pita in Half Around the Filling, Pick Up and Eat Like a Taco!

    Done

    Bon Appetit!
