Greek-style seitan Gyros with homemade Tzatziki sauce and Pita bread
The homemade pita bread is absolutely to die for. It's so so good and was easier to make than I was expecting. I got the recipe for it from here: https://thescranline.com/soft-pita-flat-bread-recipe/
Tzatziki is also super good and pretty simple to make. You just need vegan yoghurt (preferably greek-style), grated cucumber, olive oil, minced garlic or garlic powder, dried dill, some lemon juice and salt and pepper to your taste. It's delicious, you should give it a go if you haven't!

That looks excellent, thanks for sharing.
Just on a side note: aluminum foil is very energy intensive to create and is thus best avoided for one-time use packaging like this.
That is a good point. Gyros cannot be self-contained like burritos though and need some external support to help them stay in one piece. What alternative would you suggest?
Some paper wrap would do, no?
For your typical take-away it would get soggy too fast, but if you home-make it, I don't see why it wouldn't work.
I guess it would work if you're careful with the placement of the sauce.
avoiding meat saves more energy than foil that is recyclable imo
If the foil too is unnecessary and could be avoided, I do not see why not.
That pita has me salivating
Looks very tasty! You could also replace the seitan with falafel and the tsatsiki with humus and tahini sauce to have another nice dish on the same basis of pita, salad and fries.
This looks awesome. Btw idk if this is stupid question but what would happen if you used nutritional yeast instead of instant dry yeast?
It won't rise. Nutritional yeast is already cooked up and no longer living
Good point I didn't even consider that.
This looks amazing! Nice job. If you have a trade joes near your they have a decent vegan tzatziki.
Fuck you for posting this when I am so hungry and so far from home.
Seriously though, this looks incredible.
Amazing, my favorite. Strain your yogurt first though!
Is that mostly to have it smoother? I don't mind the chunky texture 🙂
Opposite! It makes it chunkier. Doesn't really matter though lol that's just how it was made. That's why 'greek' yogurt is literally just yogurt that's strained for you 😅 Anybody could do it. Coffee filters should work I think.
