Add 1/2 cup water with the ingredients and simmer for 10+ mins until the sauce mixture thickens. Add more sauce, flavor if needed. For Jackfruit, spread the cooked mixture on a baking sheet to bake for 10-15 mins to dry out for better texture.

- To make this Gluten-free, use my gluten-free flatbreads instead of pita bread
- To make the tzatziki soy-free: Use 1 cup soaked cashews. You will need a bit more salt, tang and flavor.
- To make the mushrooms soyfree: Use a mix of 1 tbsp coconut aminos, 2 tsp balsamic vinegar, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder and 1 tsp tomato paste/ketchup.
