Vegan Mushroom Shawarma
Substitute mushrooms for meat. We make mushrooms so flavorful by marinating it in shawarma premade mixture. Make sure your marinade is vegan. Sear it in a hot pan for that sweet caramelization.
Ingredients
- - 1 pound 450g mushrooms, sliced
- - Shawarma Marinade:
- - 2 tablespoons olive oil
- - 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- - 2 cloves garlic minced
- - 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- - 1 teaspoon paprika
- - ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- - ½ teaspoon turmeric
- - Salt and pepper to taste
- - Vegan Tzatziki:
- - 1 cup vegan yogurt such as coconut or soy-based
- - ½ cucumber grated and squeezed to remove excess moisture
- - 1 clove garlic minced
- - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- - 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
- - Salt and pepper to taste
- - Garnish:
- - Tomato sliced
- - Onion sliced
- - Flatbread of your choice
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the shawarma marinade until well combined.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the marinade and toss until they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or longer if possible, to allow the flavors to develop.
- While the mushrooms are marinating, prepare the vegan tzatziki. In a separate bowl, combine the vegan yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned, stirring occasionally.
- Warm the flatbread according to the package instructions or lightly toast it if desired.
- To assemble, spread a generous amount of vegan tzatziki on the flatbread. Top with the cooked mushrooms, sliced tomatoes, and onions.
- Fold the flatbread over the filling to create a wrap or roll it up tightly.
- Serve the vegan mushroom shawarma immediately and enjoy!
- Note: Feel free to add additional toppings or garnishes such as fresh herbs, pickles, or hot sauce to customize your mushroom shawarma to your liking.
