Veggie Shwarma

Shwarma is a middle eastern dish. This is a vegan version of the dish. I made this on May 7, 2006.

1 package Morningstar Farms Meal Starters chick'n strips, chopped (or you can use Light Life or chick'n style seitan)
2 green peppers, cut into small strips
6 medium onions, cut in half lengthwise and then into strips
shwarma seasoning (about 2 tablespoons, or to taste)
water

Saute the green peppers and onions in a small amount of water until the onions are translucent. Add the chick'n strips, shwarma seasoning, and about 1/2 cup of water (add more if needed to make a thick sauce, but not so much that the dish becomes watery. Serve in whole wheat pitas and top with lettuce (or put lettuce in the pita first, if you prefer).

The filling is core, count the pita towards your weekly points. The brand I used was 2 points per pita.

Ana,

I am not sure what is in the seasoning blend. I did a search online and didn't find a decent recipe. However, the spice blend I use is available at
Israeli Products.com

It is quite good :-)
