Ingredients
Scale
Tempeh Marinade
- 8 ounces tempeh, sliced ~1/4″ thick
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
- 1 tsp. dried onion flakes
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1/2 Tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. dried thyme
- 4 Tbsp. vegetable broth
- 2 Tbsp. liquid aminos
- 1 tsp. rice wine or white wine vinegar
- juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 4 Whole Wheat Chipotle Tortillas or Whole Wheat Pitas
Tofu Tzatziki
- 1 1/4 cup silken tofu
- 1/2 medium-sized cucumber, peeled, deseeded and chopped
- 1/2 Tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. dill weed
- 1/4 tsp. mustard powder
- 1 tsp. dried onion flakes
- 1 Tbsp. vegetable broth
- 1 tsp. rice wine or white wine vinegar
- juice of 1/2 a lemon
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients for the marinade (except for the tempeh) in a shallow dish and whisk to combine. Add the tempeh slices and marinate for a couple of hours or overnight, turning the pieces of tempeh now and again.
- To make the tzatziki, combine all of the ingredients (except for the cucumber) in a food processor and process until smooth. Pour the mixture into a container or bowl, and stir in the diced cucumber. Store in the refrigerator to marinate for a couple of hours.
- When ready to eat, take the tzatziki out of the refrigerator to take off the chill. Wrap the tortillas or pitas in foil and gently warm in the oven.
- To make the gyros, heat a skillet and add a splash or two of vegetable broth. Brown the tempeh on both sides, adding a little more broth or water as necessary. Now, get to work assembling your gyros. Pile all of the goodies on to the tortillas/pitas and add chopped tomatoes, Kalamata olives, red onion, parsley – it all sounds good!
