Vegan Pitas with Grilled Tofu, Hummus and Tomatoes
I love making wraps for lunch! I think they’re great fun to make, you can put all sorts of toppings on them and they’re always really tasty. I thought of making vegetarian ones with grilled tofu with spices and honey. We add hummus, fresh vegetables, pickled shallots and pomegranate. It’s so good, you’ve got to try this super-easy vegetarian meal! Double the recipe to make a meal for 4 or have some for lunches!

Preparation
Express Pickled Shallots
- Place the shallots in a bowl with the vinegar and marinate for 15 minutes.
Grilled Tofu
- Preheat oven to 425°F and place rack in center. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the grilled tofu except the tofu. Add tofu slices and toss gently to coat tofu with spice mixture.
- Place tofu slices on baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until tofu slices are grilled and a bit caramelized.
Pitas
- In a small bowl, combine the vegenaise, lemon juice and garlic.
- Place a pita on a work surface and top with hummus, grilled tofu, cucumber, tomato, mint, pomegranate, pickled shallots and lemon vegenaise. Close the pita and repeat for the second pita.
Notes
- Marinated French shallots are delicious, but if you want to skip a step, you can totally add them raw to your pita.
- This recipe doubles easily to make a meal for 4.
