Instructions
Vegan Souvlaki Instructions
- Cut the red onion, zucchini, and yellow pepper into squares that are a similar size to your small tomatoes.
- Add the Roasted Soya Chunks along with 1 small tomato, at least one slice of the onion, the zucchini, and yellow pepper to skewers. (The remaining vegetables not added to a skewer will form a side salad). Leave a small gap on each side of the skewer so you can pick the skewer up. Also leave a very small gap between each item on the skewer to speed up the cooking time.
Under An Inside Grill (UK) or Broiler (US)
- Add the skewers to a grill rack over a baking tray. Place under the grill (broiler).
- Cook for 5 minutes per side. Turn the skewers over after 5 minutes. Preheat the oven/grill to 400 F/ 200 C
On An outdoor Charcoal BBQ (UK) or Grill (US)
- Preheat the grill to 400 F/ 200 C if you’re using an electric grill.
- Add your skewers to the BBQ or grill
- Cook for 5 minutes on each side turning once.
To Serve
- Slice the cucumber, and any other remaining vegetables that you didn’t add to the skewers and add them to the side of the plate.
- Add a serving of poppy seed dressing to a small bowl as a dipping sauce or drizzle it on top.
- Add the flat breads to the plate and top with the cooked skewers.
