Do you know what my new passion is? Jackfruit ! I find the fruit so great, especially because it is so versatile. Especially in the Summer I often long for quick Sandwiches that make you full, but still bring a nice freshness. When you currently move through the city and pass a Greek every now and then, this wonderful smell rises to your nose. Of course, now I’m talking solely about the wonderful spices and freshly baked pita. Admittedly I have not made this myself this time, but there is soon also a Recipe to it, I promise!
VEGAN GYROS, WHERE?
Gyros is certainly one of the most famous Dishes of the Greek cuisine. You can get it on every corner, but vegan ? Unfortunately, I have not yet found a restaurant. Therefore, go into the kitchen and do it yourself.
For our kebab today Sandwich we need Jackfruit . I have already tested several variants here, including dried jackfruit pieces and the classic from the can. My favorite is and remains Jacky F. which I have already linked several times here on the blog. The startup company imports Jackfruit from Sri Lanka and also takes care of a fair remuneration of the local farmers. The products are 100% organic (EU organic seal) and fair trade. One more reason why I was thrilled to receive a small test package. As you know, I don’t actually accept products to promote. But since there is no rule without exception, I turned a blind eye to Jacky F.. why? Because I think it’s important to promote companies that operate sustainably. There is a good and especially fair thought behind the project, which I appreciate very much! If you want to know more about Jacky F., you will find here directly info .
GIMME MORE SPICES
A delicious gyros lives from the spices and they are not neglected in today’s dish. Garlic granules (or fresh garlic), oregano, cumin, cloves, a pinch of cinnamon and Bird Eye chili. They are fried hot together with a little olive oil and onion. Jackfruit To this, tomato paste, tamari, maple syrup, pepper and a sip of apple cider vinegar. wow!
