Vegan Oyster Mushroom Shawarma
Ingredients
- 1 Punnet oyster mushrooms
- 1 Tsp Cumin
- 1 Tbsp Thyme
- 1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 Tsp zaatar
- 1 Tsp smoked paprika
- 1 Tsp garlic powder
- 1 Tsp Celery salt
- Oil
Accompaniments
- Pita
- Some salad, olive oil and lemon
- Yoghurt, cucumber and lemon
- Chillies
- Pickled red onions
Preparation
Mix together the spices. Add some oil to the mushrooms and then sprinkle the spices on top. Mix well to coat every bit of the mushrooms.
Heat a skillet with a bit of oil, add the mushrooms. Place something heavy on top, like another pan or a bowl, and press down. Cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly charred, then flip and repeat the process.
In a bowl, mix together the salad ingredients, and in another bowl, mix the yoghurt ingredients.
Heat the flatbread, load on the salad and yoghurt, then add the mushroom shawarma, and top with chillies and pickled red onions. Enjoy.
Notes
Oyster mushrooms are juicy and meaty, making them a great substitute for lamb in this dish.
