Method

For the Quorn Pieces Marinade:

  1. Mix the yoghurt, zaatar, lemon juice and garlic in a bowl. Add the Quorn Pieces and toss to coat. Set to one side.

For the homemade tzatziki:

  1. Mix all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Spoon into two small dip bowls and reserve for serving.

For the gyros bowls:

  1. Using two serving bowls arrange the sliced tomatoes between the two bowls. Top with the olives, red onion slices and crumble over the feta.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowls keeping each ingredient in sections.

To serve:

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (fan)/200°C electric/Gas Mark 6.
  2. Place the marinated Quorn Pieces onto a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for 10 minutes in a pre-heated oven.
  3. If desired, for an extra chargrilled flavour pre-heat a non-stick griddle pan over a medium-high heat. Spray the griddle with 5 sprays low calorie cooking spray. Add the cooked marinated Quorn Vegetarian Pieces to the griddle and cook for 2 minutes on each side. Remove and divide the pieces between the 2 serving bowls.
  4. Slice the flatbread into triangles. Add the flat bread triangles to the griddle and cook for one minute each side.
  5. Sprinkle each gyro bowl with extra zaatar and garnish with lemon wedges, coriander leaves and mint leaves.

Tip: In a hurry? Why not use store bought tzatziki. For extra flavour marinate the Quorn Pieces overnight in the fridge.
