SHAWARMA-SPICED TOFU PITA WRAPS



Shawarma-Spiced Tofu Pita Wraps image

Squeezing the tofu to get rid of as much water as possible primes it to soak up oil, spices, and, in a word, flavor.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
3 Tbsp. seasoned rice vinegar
1 (14-oz.) block firm or extra-firm tofu, drained
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsp. ground coriander
2 tsp. smoked Spanish paprika
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
1/2 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
1 small garlic clove, finely grated
4 pitas, warmed
2 Persian or mini cucumbers, thinly sliced lengthwise
Mint leaves (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss onion and vinegar in a small bowl to coat; set aside.
  • Squeeze tofu over a medium bowl, gently at first, then more firmly to expel as much water as possible (like squeezing out a big sponge). Don't worry if it starts to crack apart. When no more liquid comes out, tear tofu into 1" pieces. Arrange in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Toss with oil, then add coriander, paprika, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and 1 tsp. salt. Toss well to coat. Roast tofu, turning once or twice, until crispy around the edges and well browned, 20-25 minutes (the tofu will get crispier as it cools, so don't be tempted to take it too far and dry it out in the oven).
  • Stir yogurt and garlic in a small bowl; season with salt. Assemble by dividing yogurt among pitas, followed by tofu, cucumbers, drained pickled onion, and a handful of mint.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

14 ounces extra firm tofu
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup broth
1/4 cup pesto sauce
3 large garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano

2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1 teaspoon lemon juice
salt
pepper
1/3 cup crumbled feta
1/3 cup tzatziki, sauce
1 cucumber, chopped
1 large tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olive, chopped
4 pita bread

Steps:

  • drain the tofu and press for 30 min by putting between paper towels with a large weight (book or heavy pan) on top.
  • Prepare the marinade by mixing oil, broth, pesto, garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, lemon and salt and pepper to taste.
  • cut the tofu into thin strips. Marinate the tofu for 1hr minimum, tossing a few times to make sure it is evenly distributed but being careful not to break pieces.
  • meanwhile, combine cucumber, tomato, olive and feta in a bowl.
  • Take the tofu out of the marinade (reserve marinade) and fry over very high heat in a non-stick skillet until darkly browned (very important that it is non-stick!). Turn off heat and immediately pour extra marinade over tofu. The pan will be very hot and the marinade should mostly cook off immediately,.
  • Meanwhile, heat up pitas in oven or microwave. Cut in half and fill each one with tofu, tzatziki, and veggies.
