Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Here's another recipe, but with cumin.... Vegan Seitan Gyro W/ Cucumber Sauce Recipe #252303 This is such a filling, hearty, flavorful meal that I can never get enough of. It took a while to develop the cucumber sauce recipe, but I think I just about nailed it! by tendollarwine 45 min | 40 min prep | SERVES 6 For the sauce 1 cup soy yogurt, unsweetened 1/2 large cucumber, peeled and grated 1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh 1 teaspoon dried dill weed 1/2 teaspoon salt fresh ground pepper, to taste 1 teaspoon turbinado sugar (to taste) For the seitan 1 lb seitan, shaved into thin, bite-sized bits 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon cumin 2 teaspoons oregano 1 pinch cinnamon 1 pinch nutmeg 1 pinch cayenne pepper salt & freshly ground black pepper For the sandwich 2 small tomatoes, diced 1 onion, diced 3 cups lettuce, shredded 6 pieces pita bread, warmed 1. Peel and grate the cucumber. Put the grated cucumber into a strainer and set in the sink for 10 minutes to drain. 2. Squeeze the cucumber to remove excess moisture and place into a small bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well to combine. Cover and place in the fridge to let the flavors meld while you cook. 3. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the seitan bits and garlic and stir until the seitan begins to brown. Add all of the seasonings and stir well. Sautee until the seitan is well cooked and fragrant. Turn off the heat. 4. Assemble the sandwich with the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and onions, cooked seitan and cucumber sauce. Eat open-face or fold up and hold on tight!

" - Old New York Proverb On Behalf Of craftingphantom Tuesday, February 26, 2008 8:56 PM meatless gyros Does anyone have a recipe for meatless gyros? Hopefully the recipe will have the cumin flavor. Gyros is my brother's favorite sandwich, but is willing to try a meatless version. I want to do a meatless Greek night. I have a recipe for dolmas. What else would anyone suggest.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I LOVE Greek food. You could make some Spanikopita (spinach pie)for appetizers. Here's a GREAT recipe for " Greek Night " from the group files...Its called Greek Rice with Spinach posted by Candy...I make this one often. I have subsituted the feta with a strong shredded parmesan a few times and its yummy too. I also add quite a bit of Italian seasoning to it instead of the basil. Even without the cheese and a bit more lemon juice...Mmmmm, maybe I'll make some more tonight Greek Rice with Spinach 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil 1 large onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 cups chopped, clean fresh spinach 3 tablespoons lemon juice 4 cups cooked long grain rice 1/2 tablespoon minced fresh basil salt and pepper, to taste 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese In a skillet, add oil, onion and garlic; cook over medium-high heat 5 minutes. Add spinach, lemon juice and rice. Cook stirring frequently, until spinach is limp and rice is thoroughly heated. Toss with basil. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Add crumbled feta before serving. Serves 4. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ , " craftingphantom " <mschmahl wrote: > > Does anyone have a recipe for meatless gyros?

How does this menu sound: Gyros, dolmas, rice pilaf, spinakopita, and baklava Thank you for the help!!!! Marylee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I would use seitan marinated in chimichurri and grilled. I would add a little fried cumin to it too. , " craftingphantom " <mschmahl wrote: > > Does anyone have a recipe for meatless gyros? Hopefully the recipe > will have the cumin flavor.
