Tempeh Gyro
INGREDIENTS
- 1 8.5 oz block of tempeh
- 1 onion
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp marjoram
- 1 tsp ground rosemary
- 1/2 tsp basil
- 1/2 tsp thyme

1. Grate tempeh and onion into a large bowl. Add in spices (including parsley) and soy sauce and mix well with a fork. Add flour and mix with fork, then knead with your hands for a minute or so until it all comes together. Add in a little water, if needed.
2. Heat a small layer of oil in a sauce pan over medium-lo heat. Break off golf ball-sized pieces of the dough mixture. Flatten with the palm of your hand on the countertop to mimic a slice of meat. Fry 2 mins per side.
3. Serve with chopped tomato, sliced red onion, and tzatziki rolled up in a warmed pita
