Cook the Quorn Vegan Doner Kebab

  • In a pan, heat the coconut oil and add the marinated ingredients. Fry on medium heat for approximately 5 minutes.

For the Dressing

  • Mix garlic and Yogurt for a Quick Tzatziki dressing. Otherwise, I suggest this Garlic Free Hummus.

Make the Sandwich

  • Now fill your pita with the Quorn pieces, onions, cucumber, lettuce, tomato and the Tzatziki (garlic + yogurt mix).

Notes

Recipe Notes:

  1. WHOLEMEAL WRAP - As a great on-the-go alternative, instead of the pita, you can put the shawarma in a wrap and roll it in baking paper or aluminium foil.
  2. CONDIMENTS -
    • Use a speedy tzatziki-like dressing made out of minced garlic with 2 tablespoons of Plant Based Yogurt will serve 2 people. 
    • Otherwise, I suggest this quick garlic free hummus.
