Vegan Gyros With Grilled Tofu And Tzatziki Sauce

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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

Step 3

While the tofu is marinading prep the vegetables, set aside

Step 4

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

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.
