Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup vegetable broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground thyme
1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
1 (8 ounce) package tempeh
4 (6 inch) whole-wheat pitas
1 dash pink Himalayan salt
1 dash ground black pepper
2 small cucumbers, peeled and grated
1 (12.3 ounce) package silken tofu
1 tablespoon (packed) fresh dill
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tomatoes, sliced
½ red onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Combine vegetable broth, soy sauce, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, Himalayan salt, and dash of pepper in a large bowl.
  • Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Cut tempeh in half and add to the boiling water. Boil for 10 minutes to remove any bitter taste. Transfer tempeh to a cutting board and allow to cool slightly.
  • Cut tempeh into 1/4-inch slices and place them in the vegetable broth marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours to overnight, stirring occasionally to be sure tempeh is covered with marinade.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Transfer marinated tempeh slices to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, turning halfway through, until golden brown and beginning to crisp at the edges, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Place pitas in the hot oven until warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Squeeze excess water from cucumbers using a paper towel. Place tofu, cucumbers, dill, 1 teaspoon garlic, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Blend until tzatziki is well mixed. Adjust seasonings if desired.
  • Assemble a gyro by placing 1/4 of tempeh slices, tomatoes, and red onions on top of a pita. Cover with tzatziki. Repeat with remaining tempeh, tomatoes, onion, and pita.
