Ingredients

Ingredients for soy fillets ladorigani

200 g soy fillets or soy kebab
1 large onion
2 cloves garlic
3 lemons (the juice)
3 cups vegetable broth or water
½ cup white wine
¼ cup olive oil
3 tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp smoked paprika or sweet
1 tsp fenugreek or ¼ tsp additional paprika
2 bay leaves
1 sprig fresh oregano or ½ tsp dried
salt and pepper

Ingredients for rice pilaf

2 cups rice for pilaf
1 large onion
4 cups vegetable broth or water
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 leaf of leaves
salt

Instructions

Soy fillets ladorigani (fasting and vegan)

Soak the soy fillets in hot water for 10 minutes to soften and then squeeze them tightly between your palms.
Finely chop the onion and garlic and heat up the broth (or water).
In a pan heat the olive oil and sauté the onion for 2 minutes, over medium to high heat. Add the garlic and continue sautéing for 1 minute. Add the sprig of fresh oregano and the soy fillets and continue until golden brown on both sides.
Then, deglaze with the wine, and when the fillets absorb most of the liquids, add the vegetable broth, and the rest of the herbs and spices, lower the temperature and simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the lemon juice.

Rice pilaf

Heat the olive oil in a medium pot over medium to high temperature. Finely chop the onion and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the rice, stir well for another 2 minutes and add the vegetable broth (or water), bay leaf and salt.
Once it boils, lower the temperature and simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat, stir and leave it on for another 5 minutes.

Serving

We can serve them with pilaf rice, mashed potatoes or french fries.
You can accompany it with any green salad and/or white wine.

Notes

To save time:

If you accompany the soy fillets ladorigani with rice pilaf, heat up all the broth, or water, before you begin (i.e. both the broth for the soy fillets and for the rice pilaf). The same if you make mashed potatoes, heat the water the potatoes will boil in, which you'll coarsely chop for them to boil faster.
You can take advantage of the time the fillets are simmering (or soaking) to make your salad or side dish (rice pilaf, mashed potatoes or french fries).

2. If you want a thicker and richer sauce, you can add a sauce along with the lemon by mixing well half a cup of sauce from the pan, 1 Tbsp corn flour and 1 Tbsp mustard.
