| SHAWARMA BOWL |
This low carb shawarma bowl uses seitan as both it's protein and carb source while pairing it with a creamy dressing that packs healthy fats from all natural tahini.
ADD CARBS & make it a handheld! Grab large whole wheat tortillas and wrap it up.
Recipe notes:
The Shawarma Kebab from Gusta Foods (linked below) is what I've used to make this recipe super simple and delicious, thanks to the pre-seasoned seitan. However if you can't get the Gusta Foods brand near you, you have options:
Season any preferred protein like plain seitan, tofu, tempeh, tvp, or tpp with a mixture of these seasonings - cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, and cinnamon.
Sauerkraut is not a traditional ingredient to see in a shawarma bowl or wrap, but what is is something pickled. I used sauerkraut because I almost always have it on hand. But you could use pickled cabbage or onions, pickled turnip, or straight up pickles! The key here is to add the sour (and probiotic) element.
