Vegan Greek Seitan Skewers with Tofu Feta

I have been trying to set up my savory meal game.. I’ve always loved cooking, but have always been better at baking. Something about creating sweet treats just brings me so much damn joy.. but, as of late, I’ve really been loving experimenting in the kitchen. My only rule - it has to be quick and simple!

Enter.. these kebabs! Kebabs are a summer grilling staple, but we like to make them all year round. I love how quick and easy they are and I love that you can use whatever you have in your fridge. The ones I’m sharing today are vegan gyro seitan kebabs. Seitan is a great vegan source of protein, and when prepared just right, can literally taste like meat - it’s nuts!

Just layer your protein of choice with some veggies and either grill or bake them up! Add a few sides (we love fresh salad or rice) and serve them up with a yummy sauce! You’re done!

The below recipes will feature how I made the tofu feta and the seitan. Enjoy!

Tofu Feta:

  1. Combine all ingredients besides tofu in a deep bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined.

  2. Press & drain tofu. Cut into cubes. Place in the tray with the marinade and toss so all the pieces are coated.
