Vegetarian Mushroom Shawarma Pitas

Dusted with smoky spices like cumin, coriander and paprika, these thick-cut roasted portobello mushrooms are inspired by shawarma, Middle Eastern spiced lamb — and they taste surprisingly meaty. The flavors are bold, but the prep is simple: While the mushrooms and onions roast, make an easy turmeric and Greek yogurt sauce, and toss sliced red cabbage with salt. Pile everything into a pita with a flurry of cilantro and mint to freshen things up (parsley or salad greens would also do the job in a pinch). While these hearty pitas are best enjoyed with a knife and fork as open-faced sandwiches, they can also be folded into half-moon parcels and eaten out of hand.

Crispy Tofu Shawarma

Crispy Tofu Shawarma

The flavors of shawarma come alive in this plant-based spin featuring crispy shaved spiced tofu, sumac pickled onions, lemony tahini and fresh vegetables. Super-firm tofu is ideal as it doesn’t require pressing and is sturdy enough to withstand being thinly sliced. Tossing the tofu with soy sauce, an admittedly unusual ingredient in shawarma, imbues it with a deep savoriness, and when the tofu is pan-fried, it gets remarkably crisp-chewy. Cooking in batches ensures maximal crispness, but doesn’t require much babysitting, so that time can be spent whipping up the tahini sauce and prepping the vegetables. Cucumbers and cherry tomatoes offer a mix of crunch and sweetness, but you can use whatever you have on hand. Scoop leftovers into pita pockets for lunch. (Watch Nisha make this recipe on YouTube.)

About this Recipe

Craving a vibrant, flavorful meal that feels both wholesome and deeply satisfying? These Cauliflower Shawarma Wraps with Green Tahini and Feta are your answer, bringing restaurant-quality Middle Eastern flavors right to your kitchen.

This recipe works wonders by transforming humble cauliflower into a star. Infused with aromatic spices like smoked paprika and cumin, brightened by lemon juice, and sweetened with a touch of honey, the cauliflower achieves a depth of flavor usually associated with slow-roasted meats. The creamy, herb-packed green tahini sauce, along with fresh cucumbers and salty feta, elevates every bite into a delightful experience.

What you'll experience is a symphony of textures and tastes. Imagine tender, spice-laden cauliflower nestled in warm naan or pita, complemented by the crisp coolness of shredded lettuce and sliced Persian cucumbers. The rich, earthy notes of the cauliflower meet the bright, herbaceous zest of the green tahini, all balanced by the salty tang of crumbled feta. A swirl of plain Greek yogurt or tzatziki adds an extra layer of creaminess, while avocado and fresh cilantro offer refreshing finishes to this healthy, well-rounded main course.

For easy customization, you can readily adapt these wraps to your pantry and preferences. While cauliflower is the star, you could experiment with other roasted vegetables if desired, though cooking times may vary. If feta isn't your favorite, omit it or try a dairy-free alternative for a similar briny punch. Not a fan of cilantro or parsley in the green tahini? Feel free to adjust the herb ratio or swap in other soft herbs you enjoy. Serve these wraps with extra lemon wedges for an added burst of freshness.

These Cauliflower Shawarma Wraps are perfect for a quick, flavorful weeknight dinner or a relaxed weekend lunch. They make a fantastic, satisfying main course that’s sure to impress.
