Mushroom Gyro with Creamy Basil Sauce
I've been dreaming of the seitan gyro I had from Three Carrots in Indy for the past few nights...since I'm in Texas I can't satisfy this yearning, I need to make my own. The key to their beautiful sandwich was the juicy, chewy housemade seitan...the dense store bought stuff will not do, and I'm too lazy to make my own right now. Enter mushrooms. I think that portobello can give the same juiciness and chewiness and if seasoned right bring all the flavor. Make sure get your hands on some vegan chewy pita and grill it up! I'm serving mine with rosemary olive oil potato chips, and oh, what a pairing!
