Notes

  • Shawarma spice blend: Mix 1.5 tsp cumin powder, 1.5 tsp coriander powder,1 tsp paprika, 1/3 to 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, 1.5 tsp garlic powder, 1/4-1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground cardamom,1/8 tsp each ground cloves, nutmeg, allspice
  • Variations: You can use other fillings instead of mushrooms, such as soycurls, shredded seitan, shredded jackfruit. 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. 
  • Nutrition is for 1 gyro, includes pita bread
  • 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.
