I've taken my love of shawarma and put it in a bowl!
Ingredients
1 teaspoon Garam Masala (usually used in Indian food, it is a blend of cardamom, cinnamon, cumin, cloves, coriander & black pepper)
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ cup tahini sauce (Trader Joes didn't have tahini, so I bought the pre-made sauce. If you'd rather make it yourself, here is a good recipe .
¼ cup hummus
1 lemon
8 ounces seitan, cut into thin slices
1 cup quinoa
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup onion
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 medium yellow squash, sliced
Feel free to use your favorite vegetables. I like cauliflower and broccoli in this dish (but my husband doesn't).
½ cup tahini sauce
½ cup hummus
Pita Bread
Instructions
Blend the spices together. If you're missing one, or if you don't have the Garam Masala, use as many as you have.
Combine the tahini, hummus, and the juice of ½ of the lemon. Stir in the spice mixture.
In a small bowl, combine the tahini blend with the seitan. Set aside.
Make the quinoa according to package directions.
Preheat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently for about 2 minutes, or until the onion is starting to get soft.
Add the seitan, allowing the marinade to drip off each piece before you add it to the pan. Brown on both sides. Reduce the heat and add the rest of the marinade. Allow to heat through.
Tahini/hummus sauce: Combine the tahini, hummus and the juice of ½ lemon.
While the seitan is cooking, steam the vegetables until they are crisp-tender.
Assemble the bowl: Quinoa, veggies, seitan. Pour the rest of the hot marinade over the bowl. Serve with hot pitas and the tahini/hummus sauce.
