I got so excited when you mentioned that you would be making this in your last video. I couldn't wait. Found the recipe on your site and made it along with your taztziki and served it gyro style. Delicious! Thanks for another great, veganized version of an old favorite.
Counter-slappin good! 😂 I've got tofu in the freezer so these are on the menu this week. And yes, please come back to Nova Scotia!
That looks delicious. Definitely going to try it.
Bon appétit in Greek is Καλή όρεξη (kali orexi )
Once again I can’t wait to try this! Thank you as always for the amazing recipes❤
I love this channel so much! I often make your shepherds pie recipe! I love your recipes and the video quality. You belong on TV!
Kathryn, your comic timing with the cucumber bit was unparalleled. 😀And even cut down, Bryan was wolfing down that gyro at LIGHTNING speed! My main worry would be trying to get the "right" amount of moisture/water out of the tofu — have you got a specific amount you recommend not to go below?
I was wondering what sort of a lighting setup you had behind that camera. lol Hope it doesn't take too long usually to come down, and I hope your date night goes wonderfully — the risotto looks amazing! 🙂
What!!?!? Vegan risotto!!! I'm here for it!! Yes 👍
OK not that I needed to be sold because I was already excited to watch this video, but just based on Bryan's rave review on this – I want to make it ASAP!
My daughter is so excited to make it!
That was great! Had to watch twice… Putting my tofu in the freezer now, for tomorrows yummy treat. Thank you🙏
Thank you!
FRENCH FRIEDS ON THE SIDELINES ❓️👍👀
While I am not Greek, I love when someone can pronounce gyro and tzatziki correctly! Also, gyros are amazing and this definitely looks delicious as a substitute! No need to harm the babies!
Love that recipe, guys. Since we middle – european people should not eat Tofu by the tons, I alternate between Tofu, "fake Tofu" made out of chickpeas AND I am really into shrooms right now ! NO, NOT those ones lol. I am about to explore the different varations of asian shrooms, like enoki etc… Your shaved meet can also be made out of oyster mushrooms. Jamie Oliver, the famous british Chef, has made a plant based shawama out of oyster shrooms and it is awesome !
10:04 gyros has fries, not kebab
Have company coming next week so I'm putting tofu in the freezer! Too funny about the hiccups. I get them if I eat anything – especially sandwiches, etc. and don't drink something. I'm a fairly slow eater so I don't think that's it – lol – but it never fails. Fun video.
3:39 you can use cheese shaver, it makes it easier, and even thiner
Those gyros looked delicious 😋
you can add air fried sweet potatoes
I like the smoked tofu which I either use fresh or frozen (my carers cooks for me I get them to press out the tofu to get the water but my other carer doesn't press it because it says no need to press on pack which is right?) I would use the smoked tofu and I would leave out liquid smoke for this recipe. Do I still add liquid smoke?
seems so yummy ! and when Bryan is that happy, we know it's amazing !!🤣 "on a scale from 0 to Bryan…" :)can't wait for the risotto !
Definitely making this. Thank you. I’m in the US and Trader Joe’s has an amazing vegan tzatziki so that’s one less step.😋
Looks amazing! Already got my tofu into the freezer! Thank you for the great video!!
Love the look of these, I have some tofu in my freezer already, so will make this! Thank you for the recipe. 💚🌱
YUM!! Make me miss the Vegan Shawarma at "Шава Хауз", back Home in Central ❤Babruysk❤…❤❤❤
Raw tomato from the grocery store in Canada, in winter…makes sense. I'm in a condo, but from my mom's garden at peak ripeness, I could eat kilos of them like apples, until nauseated.
Kathryn another yummy 😋😋😋 tofu recipe and thanks 👍 for sharing it. I definitely need to make these recipes. Love 🥰 the video and love 💓 Kathryn & ❤ Bryan.
What will you be making with these? (Vegan reuben coming soon!) Should I use them on a cheesesteak? ⬇
