  • 1 package Sweet BBQ TofuBaked 
  • Pita bread 
  • Sesame hummus 
  • Vegan tzatziki sauce 
  • Paprika, to garnish
  • Dill, to garnish

For the vegetables

  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 garlic cloves – minced
  • 1 teaspoon gochugaru 
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 eggplant – cut into half-inch rounds
  • 4 medium portobello mushrooms – stems removed
  • 1 red onion – cut into thick rounds

Preparation

  1. To prepare the vegetables: Place the olive oil, rice vinegar, gochugaru, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper in a jar with screw-top lid and shake to combine. Add the vegetables to a large bowl and pour over the marinade. Gently toss until the marinade evenly coats the vegetables (be careful that the red onion doesn’t separate into rings). Marinate for at least 10 minutes. Cook the vegetables on a hot grill (or grill pan) for 8 minutes, turning once, and brushing regularly with any residual marinade.
  2. In the same pan or on the same grill, sear BBQ TofuBaked until crispy.
  3. Assemble pitas with a smear of hummus, vegetables, tofu, topped with tzatziki and garnishes.
