Ingredients

• 1 cup Textured vegetable protein (TVP)
• 1 cup Vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 pieces Whole wheat pita bread
• 1 large Red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 medium Tomato, chopped
• 1 small Cucumber, thinly sliced
• 2 cups Lettuce, shredded
• 0.5 cup Vegan garlic sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, add the textured vegetable protein (TVP) and pour in the vegetable broth. Stir to combine and let it sit for 10 minutes until the TVP has fully absorbed the liquid.

Step 2

Add soy sauce, liquid smoke, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, coriander, paprika, and black pepper to the rehydrated TVP. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned TVP and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly crispy.

Step 4

Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or in the oven for a couple of minutes to make them pliable.

Step 5

Assemble the donairs by layering cooked TVP mixture, sliced red onions, chopped tomatoes, cucumber slices, shredded lettuce, and a generous drizzle of vegan garlic sauce onto each piece of pita bread.

Step 6

Fold the pita around the filling to enclose it, and serve the vegan beef donairs warm.
