Description
This delicious tofu shawarma is marinated with spices and served with fresh vegetables and homemade tzatziki.
Ingredients
Scale
- 200g extra-firm tofu
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 0 teaspoon cayenne chili pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon corn flour
- 2 flatbreads
- 1 head little gem lettuce
- 1 large tomato or 6 cherry tomatoes
- ½ cucumber
- 4 tablespoons homemade tzatziki
Instructions
- Remove the tofu from its packaging and use a clean cloth to pat it dry, gently squeezing the tofu to remove as much excess moisture as possible.
- Use the slicing side of your box grater to slice the tofu thinly. Gently arrange the tofu on a lined baking sheet.
- Preheat your oven to 180C | 356F.
- Mix together the shawarma marinade ingredients (all the spices, corn flour, lemon juice, olive oil, and honey). Add a tablespoon or two of water to loosen the marinade and make it easier to mix into the sliced tofu.
- Pour the shawarma sauce over the tofu and use tongs or your hands to gently coat every tofu slice in the marinade.
- Arrange the coated tofu so it’s spread across the baking tray, and then bake the tofu for 15 – 20 minutes until it’s just beginning to crisp at the edges.
- Arrange the flatbreads with your salad ingredients, the tofu shawarma, and the tzatziki sauce.
Notes
- Ensure the tofu is well-dried to prevent it from becoming soggy during cooking.
- This dish can be easily adapted to suit different taste preferences by adjusting the level of spices used.
