This shawarma recipe was inspired by a popular dish originating from the Middle East. It's usually made from rotisserie meat, but we used a vegan version of shawarma from our local supermarket. We added a bunch of veggies to make this dish super nutritious. Serve it with your favourite sauces like hummus or tzatziki, and enjoy!

Really tasty weeknight dinner. As others here as well I went to tofu + spice mix route for the „shawarma“ and it turned out great! The veggie-combo was something different for me, much appreciated inspiration for future meals!
PUL Team - July 31, 2024, 2:28 p.m.
A lovely twist, Johanna, so glad you enjoyed the bowl!

I added hoisin sauce to the vegetables since I found them quite dry. It worked wonderfully!

This was super satisfying! I forgot to get pita bread, so I just ate everything together over a small amount of rice and it was filling and delicious :)
Kelsey M - April 29, 2024, 12:23 p.m.
Really enjoyed this! Fresh, yum, and simple enough for a weeknight. I used tofu and the shawarma spice blend rather than buying shawarma faux meat :)
PUL Team - April 30, 2024, 7:21 p.m.
So glad it was enjoyed, Kelsey! Love this idea 🙌

I made this for dinner tonight and really enjoyed it! Very satisfying and wholesome. A dish perfect for anytime of year, I’d say. I couldn’t get any shawarma mock meat so I decided to use extra firm tofu, sliced quite thin in strips and coated in some olive oil flour and shawarma spice mix. I then fried it up separately in a wok until golden and slightly crispy. It worked brilliantly as a substitute. Will definitely be making this again! 😊
PUL Team - April 8, 2024, 11:54 p.m.
A lovely idea to use tofu instead of shawarma mock meat, Tessa! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the recipe :)

Jessica - Jan. 26, 2024, 9:48 p.m.
Easy, quick, delicious and wholesome. Left out the pitas and put it in a wrap, works really well too in my opinion.

A lovely idea, Jessica, thank you! 🙂

This was a really delicious and filling dinner! Instead of mock chicken, I pan fried tofu in a shawarma spice blend. It turned out great!

I really enjoyed this and so did my 27 year old child. We used oatly Greek style yogurt which was lovely with it. I’m absolutely loving the app and the recipes are fantastic. Thank you 😊

Really liked this recipe for a quick week night dinner! There might be a little mistake in the list of ingredients though, mine lists paprika powder twice, maybe it’s supposed to be normal and smoked paprika?
PUL Team - April 5, 2023, 6:52 p.m.
Hey Lotta, thanks for pointing this out and apologies for any confusion! We've updated the recipe to only include paprika powder once 🙂
