Viana Vegan Turkish Roast with Tzatziki Sauce, Persian Cucumber Salad and Harissa

Viana Veggie Turkish Roast

This dish consists of Viana’s Veggie Turkish Roast with vegan Tzatziki sauce, fresh salad seasoned with Crete extra-virgin olive oil. The chopped carrots are a great addition to the dish. They also go well with any pita bread or any favourite flatbread of yours, and this amazing harissa, a yummy salty-spicy condiment.

You can use So Delicious Dairy Free’s Plain Greek Cultured Milk yogurt in the Tzatziki sauce. The yogurt provides the thick and creaminess to the sauce.

Vegan Doni Tzatziki Sauce

Yield: 8-10 servings

Ingredients

  • 24 oz. unsweetened vegan yogurt
  • 2 Persian cucumbers, peeled, shredded with a box grater and drained
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced or finely chopped
  • juice of half a lemon
  • less than 1 tablespoon any Greek olive oil (the fancy part)
  • Fresh dill, chopped depending on taste

Method

  1. Drain the plain soy yogurt overnight in a coffee filter inside a colander over a bowl. The longer you leave it to drain, the less runnier.
  2. Peel Persian cucumbers, shred them with a box grater, and drain all liquid by putting them in a towel or in a wire colander. Sprinkle some sea salt.
  3. Finely chop garlic cloves.
  4. Gather all ingredients in a large bowl: drained yogurt, shredded Persian cucumbers, minced garlic, juice of half of lemon, olive oil and fresh dill. Don’t add too much olive oil, it will make the tzatziki runny.
  5. You can add more chopped fresh dill as much as you like for the desired flavour and colour.
  6. Add pinch of salt to taste.
  7. Let the bowl sit in the fridge for a few hours before serving.

Notes

The vegan Tzatziki can last in the fridge, covered for about 3-4 days fresh. You can use it as a condiment for any vegan meat dishes and salads.
