Mushroom Gyros

Mushroom Gyros

Spiced with garlic, paprika and oregano, these flat mushroom gyros wraps are a delicious twist on the traditional meaty version. Perfect for dinner or weekend lunch.

Ingredients

4 large flat mushrooms
1 red capsicum
2 medium tomatoes
1 Lebanese cucumber
4 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
4 pita breads
200 g tzatziki dip
50 g rocket leaves
TO SERVE, OPTIONAL
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Slice the mushrooms into 1cm strips. Slice capsicum into strips. Slice tomatoes and cucumber.

Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced capsicum and cook, stirring for 5 minutes until lightly charred. Transfer to a bowl or container and cover to steam gently.

Return pan to heat, add remaining oil and sliced mushrooms and cook for 1–2 minutes on each side. Add crushed garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, season with salt, and pepper and stir. Remove from heat.

While the vegetables are cooking, warm the pita breads in the microwave.

To assemble the gyros, spread 1–2 tablespoons of tzatziki sauce on each pita bread. Top with rocket, sliced tomatoes, cucumber slices and cooked capsicum and mushrooms.

Garnish with fresh parsley, if using, and serve.
