Ingredients

  • 3 Cups Vegetable broth
  • 2 Tablespoons White vinegar
  • 3 Tablespoons Lemon juice, plus more for topping the soy curls
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut cream or full fat coconut milk
  • 8 Cloves Garlic, divided
  • 1 Tablespoon Oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • Pinch of Black pepper
  • 8 Ounces Soy curls, I used Butler's
  • 4 pieces Pita or flatbread
  • Tomatoes, onions, lettuce, olives for topping
  • Vegan Tzatziki*

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, and coconut cream.
  • Add the soy curls to the bowl.
  • Add in 4 cloves of chopped garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Making sure the soy curls are submerged completely in the liquid. If they aren't, add a little bit of water to cover them.
  • Let the soy curls marinate for 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees(F).
  • Drain the soy curls, but reserve the marinade. Squeeze some of the liquid out of the soy curls so they will be firmer.
  • Put the soy curls on a greased sheet pan and spread them out evenly. Put the remaining 4 cloves of garlic on top.
  • Pour about 1/2 cup or so of them marinade over them top of the soy curls. You just want a little bit of the liquid on the bottom of the pan.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, toss and bake another 8-10 minutes or until firm and brown.
  • Squeeze about 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice over the top of the soy curls and toss.
  • Warm your pita or flatbread if desired and then make your gyros.
  • Spread vegan tzatziki all over the pita or flatbread. Top with the "Chicken," veggies and more tzatziki.
  • Serve immediately.
