Vegan Shawarma with Tofu and Avocado
Main Dishes • Author's
Description
A refined vegan twist on shawarma from the creators at the Vegan Corner in the Food Hall. It looks simple, but it is crafted with a clear understanding of flavor and balance: underneath the thin lavash lies fresh vegetables and sweet-and-sour pickles, while spicy red ajika adds a kick. The avocado not only acts as a creamy layer but also brings in the necessary dose of plant-based fats. The tofu is quickly fried to a golden crust before being added to the shawarma and complemented with hummus for its deceptive meatiness — resulting in something that, if not the exact replica of fried chicken, is very similar.
