Ingredients
- 500 g orzo preferably wholemeal or gluten-free
- 200 g soya kebab
- 400 g tomatoes grated or juice
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 5 cups water
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 Tbsp tomato paste optionally
- 1 tsp sugar unprocessed
- 1½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp allspice
- ¼ tsp clove
- 2 bay leaves
- salt and pepper
Instructions
Vegan giouvetsi
- Put the soya kebab in hot water for 5 minutes to rise. Then, squeeze it by pressing it with your fist (as if kneading) in a colander.
- Heat up a large non-stick pan at medium to high temperature and add in the olive oil with the cinnamon, the allspice and the clove.
- Add the soya kebab and onion in the pot and sauté for 10 minutes.
- Lower to medium heat, add the orzo and garlic and continue sautéing for another 5 minutes.
- Add the grated tomatoes, water, sugar and the bay leaves. Cover with a lid and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Serving
- Serve when still hot. You can accompany it with bread, lettuce salad, or white wine. You can also sprinkle over your plate nutritional yeast, grated rusks or freshly ground pepper.
Notes
- If you use tomato pulp, add it just before adding the grated tomatoes and mix well.
- Optionally, add together with the tomatoes and half a teaspoon of turmeric.
