Vegan Gyros With Grilled Tofu And Tzatziki Sauce

tofu, pressed*

oil, I use grapeseed oil

tamari

balsamic vinegar

brown sugar, packed

tomato paste

garlic

salt

pepper

dill

coriander

oregano

cumin

cinnamon

recipe 1o Minute Tzatziki Sauce

pitas, naan

-2 tomatoes, sliced

about half English cucumber,

lettuce, romaine or iceberg

red onion, thinly sliced in half moon shapes

hummus

black olives

French fries

herbs cilantro

First press the tofu (see notes) for 15-20 minutes then slice the tofu lengthwise so you have 2 thinner slabs cut each slab in half for a total of four pieces. Lay flat in a large freezer bag and pour over the marinade. Marinade for minimum 1 hour, overnight or up to a couple of days in the fridge.

While the tofu is pressing make the marinade: add ingredients to a bowl and whisk until the sugar has dissolved,

While the tofu is marinading prep the vegetables, set aside

Make one recipe of vegan tzatziki and set aside in the fridge until needed (or prepare a day ahead)

To grill the tofu

remove from marinade, oil both sides of tofu, I use a pastry brush and grill over medium heat on your preheated and oiled grill pan or bbq. (if using bbq make sure the grates are clean and oiled) Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until you get some good char marks for extra flavour! Remove to plate and drizzle on more marinade (it’s so fabulous) Cut each tofu steak into 4 pieces.

To assemble the gyros

lay a pita on a piece of tin foil or parchment paper. Add some shredded lettuce down the middle followed by some grilled tofu, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and tzatziki sauce and a twist of cracked black pepper and salt or seasoning salt. Wrap up in the foil, twisting and folding up the end. Enjoy! Makes 4 Gyros. For step by step photos see above post.

We really enjoyed preparing these and devouring them . We will be definitely be a hit this summer ,

We have made this recipe numerous times, absolutley love it the tofu is amazing!

This recipe is exceptional! All the components work together perfectly. The tofu- wow! That's a winner. Thank you for sharing

This was wonderful, gyros and tzatziki both! We were thinking that we would like to try this marinade on seitan steaks, then cook them on the grill!

Just made these tonight and fell in love! The tofu is top notch on its own, when you add that tzatziki it takes it to the next level. A great flavorful meal I felt great about eating. I didn't have tomato paste and didn't want to add the sugar so I used 1 tbsp ketchup instead. Also cut the tofu into thinner slices, just my preference, they came out crispy and chewy and so flavorful. Definitely making this again. Also thinking the tofu would be awesome in a Greek salad
