Vegan Kebabs Recipes

VEGAN KEBABS

Steps:

• Slice the tempeh into 1⁄2cm thick slices. Mix 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a bowl with the paprika, oregano, a pinch of salt, crack of black pepper and 1 tbsp water. Add the tempeh, tossing to coat. Cover and leave in the fridge overnight if you can, or set aside at room temperature while you continue the recipe.
• Beat the mayonnaise with 1⁄2 tbsp water and the crushed garlic in a small bowl. Heat the flatbreads in a dry pan over a medium heat for 30 seconds on each side. Slather the garlic mayonnaise over both flatbreads and top with the pickled cabbage and half the salad leaves.
• Heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Fry the marinated tempeh for 2-3 mins on each side over a medium heat until crispy and browned. Pile on top of the flatbreads, fold over and serve alongside the remaining salad.

VEGAN TURKISH KEBABS WITH SUMAC ONIONS AND GARLIC-DILL MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Make the sumac onions: Combine all ingredients and toss until the onion pieces are separated and well coated. (You should have about 1 1/2 cups. Sumac onions should be used the day they are made.)
• Make the garlic-dill mayonnaise: Put 18 garlic cloves in a medium pot, and cover with a couple inches of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Continue cooking for 30 seconds. Drain garlic and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, mince the remaining 2 garlic cloves. In a food processor, combine blanched and raw garlic, mayonnaise and lemon juice; process until completely smooth. With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Transfer mixture to a bowl, stir in minced dill, and season to taste with salt and pepper. (You should have about 1 1/2 cups.)
• Make the kebabs: Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, and fold with very clean hands until fully incorporated. Divide mixture in half, then divide each half into 6 equal balls. Working on a clean cutting board, roll them into cylinders about 3/4 inch in diameter. Cut each cylinder in half to form 24 small logs.
• Cook and serve: In a large skillet over medium-high, heat oil until shimmering. Add the logs, working in batches if necessary to prevent crowding. Cook on one side until well browned, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook on second side until well browned and cooked through, another 1 1/2 minutes. (Alternatively, cook on a hot grill until lightly charred and cooked through.) Transfer to a serving plate.
• Serve with sumac onions, garlic-dill mayonnaise, cherry tomatoes, arugula, hot sauce and Turkish bread or pita.
