Directions
- For the "Pulled Chicken Style" Plant Based Gyros
- Strain the jackfruit and place into a large bowl, then begin to roughly pull the jack fruit pieces all apart.
- Place a skillet on medium heat and splash with a little olive oil. Fry the diced onion, then add garlic till lightly golden.
- Add in the spices and continuously stir until aromatic, then add the tomato paste.
- Add then the jackfruit, vinegar and kecap manis, continuously stirring to combine well and coat the jackfruit in the mixture. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Store overnight to increase flavour, then simply reheat in the oven on a baking paper lined tray at 180ºC till warmed when ready to serve.
- For the Dairy Free Tzatziki
- After dicing your cucumber, place it onto a paper towel and allow any excess water to be absorbed out of the cucumber before placing it into a bowl.
- Add the coconut yoghurt, mint, dill, garlic and lemon juice to the bowl and stir well to combine all ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To Serve
- Warm up your pita bread in the oven.
- Place warmed pita on a large plate, layer with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion or fennel, pulled jackfruit chicken, a generous drizzling of the tzatziki, a squeeze of lemon juice, then wrap up the pita into a roll and tuck in!
