"This is one of my own creations, we rather enjoy it in a gyro. Not as "meaty" as a real one (of course) but still quite nice. - Cooking Time does not include cooling time"

is this mixture firm enough to cook and slice the traditional way for gyros?

In what steps do the ketchup and liquid smoke come in? They're not shown in the instructions. I'm unsure if they're added to the food processor or to the mixture prior to kneading.

This was pretty good, I did change a few things though. To keep it from tasting too "peanut buttery" I only put 2 tsp of tahini. And to give it a more authentic greecian flavor I used full flavor olive oil instead of toasted sesame. I also replaced the soy with 2 tsp of braggs aminos and 1 tsp a olive juice from a jar of kalumet olives. I added 1/4 cup nutritional yeast and subbed 1 tsp pink peppercorn for the 1/2 tsp of black pepper. finally i steamed it in a foil envelope instead of baking it. Scrumptious. Tastes perfect with Vegan Dad's tzatziki sauce and fresh homemade pita bread!

From my admittedly limited experience with vegetarianism, I would have to say this is darn good. I cooked it in an Instantpot: Added 1 1/2 cups water to the bottom liner, misted with vegetable spray a Corning ware casserole, placed in the Seitan, covered with foil, set dish on the inserted trivet and pressure cooked for 30 minutes followed with a quick release of pressure. OK is it still meat if we leave out the meat? Not for everyone; just more for someone else…

My first time making seitan, and I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was. I found it wasn't super meaty, so I used a gyro yogurt marinade (with almond milk Greek yogurt). It absorbed the marinade very effectively. Then I dressed it up with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and homemade almond milk tzatziki on pita. It's not the same as I remember gyros being, but very tasty, and much kinder!

I'm a happily married mother of two and I own a jewelry and accessory business. My husband and I were vegan for six years, we now eat poultry and fish. My husband is a personal trainer and competitive bodybuilder, so it's very important that we eat healthy... too bad I have such a sweet-tooth!
