Episode 1: Meat substitutes
SHAWARMA KEBAB
Head to my Instagram page @safiyahmco to find out why I choose spelt flour over wheat flour. The seitan was made using phatgirlzthrive's recipe and I altered the seasonings. I added 1 tsp smoked paprika to the seitan seasoning and a whole scotch bonnet pepper and fresh thyme and less water to the broth marinade. http://phatgirlzthrive.com/recipe/alk... Alternatively, you can use store-bought kebab strips (non-vegan/vegan). I highly recommend Vivera Veggie Shawarma Kebab strips: https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/product...
