Coming at you with a perfect Friday Night Fakeaway idea; Vegan Gyros, using Jackfruit and Moroccan Grains! This delicious recipe was created by Happy Skin Kitchen.
1 can (400g) young jackfruit - drained and roughly chopped
4 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp tomato puree
1 Whitworths Protein By Nature Moroccan Grains pouch
A drizzle of olive oil for frying
Salt & pepper to taste
For the tzatziki: 150g unsweetened plant-based yogurt ( We used coconut)
1/2 small cucumber
A small handful of fresh mint leaves - finely chopped
The juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
Serve with: Gyros style flatbreads
A handful of mixed salad leaves
Slices of tomatoes
Add a drizzle of olive oil to a frying pan and once hot add in the chopped onion. Cook for 8-10 minutes until starts to caramelise.
Add in the jackfruit, tomato puree, soy sauce and maple syrup. Stir everything to combine and cook for 10 more minutes. Add a dash of water if starts to stick to the bottom of the pan.
Transfer the jackfruit mixture to a baking tray covered with parchment paper and place in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius fan for 20-25 minutes until the jackfruit is slightly crispy on top.
In the meantime make the tzatzki. Grate cucumber and squeeze out all the water using a cheese cloth or a cotton tea towel. Add the grated cucumber to bowl together with all the other ingredients. Mix well and season with salt & pepper.
Place the Whitworths Moroccan Grains pouch in the microwave for 2 minutes and add it to the baked jackfruit. Mix everything well and adjust for seasoning.
To assemble your gyros add a generous layer of the tzatziki to each flatbread. Top with the Moroccan Grains and jackfruit mixture, few salad levees and some tomatoes slices.
