  • 4 Cloves of garlic

Preparation of vegetarian seitan gyros with rosemary and parsley

  1. Remove the seitan from the packaging and drain off the marinade.
  2. Cut the seitan into slices, as you would for meat-filled gyros, and place in a large bowl.
  3. Peel the garlic and onion and cut finely.
  4. Add to the bowl of seitan. Add the olive oil and spices and mix well by hand (preferably using disposable gloves), rubbing the ingredients into the seitan. Continue until the seitan has absorbed enough marinade.
  5. Chop the parsley and basil finely using a sharp knife and set aside.
  6. Heat up a tablespoon of oil in the pan and quickly fry the seitan in small portions. Carefully add the spices and rosemary to the gyros just before serving and let the flavour be absorbed.
  7. These vegetarian gyros can be served with various healthy side dishes, such as chips fried in coconut oil, salad or rice, or in a pita topped with soya tzatziki.

Gyros is a traditional Greek meal. While a shawarma is Middle Eastern and a doner is Turkish, the gyro is Greek.

It is often eaten as a fast food, but it is still exceptionally tasty. Gyros were originally made with pork, but this vegetarian version may be even tastier! Gyros resemble shawarmas, but different herbs and spices are used to make them. They are also often compared to the Turkish doner kebab, but these also use different herbs and the meat is cut differently. For these gyros we will be using seitan, making them vegan. The rosemary in these vegetarian gyros gives them a unique flavour and adds spice and aroma to your meal. Serve up these gyros and surprise your companions with a Greek meal with a twist.

At the age of 33 he was going with all guns blazing, but he didn't spare a thought for his own health - he smoked, drank a lot, worked up to 16 hours a day and drank around two litres of coffee daily. Then he developed two serious hernias, as well as being very overweight. He realised that he could not continue this way and decided on a complete turnaround. He quit drinking and smoking and slowly changed his diet, until he finally went almost completely vegan.Vegan, a step further than vegetarian Stefano's recipes are all vegan.

“Seitan can be an excellent alternative to red meat in many dishes, and when used in conjunction with the right spices and seasonings, can taste very similar. It’s also loaded with protein — that’s what it is, after all. Wheat protein.” “Hail seitan? Damn right — if you’re looking for an alternative to red meat” cheatsheet.com
