Vegan choices made from seitan
Vegan Fried Chik’n or Vegan Doner in a wrap or a box.
Village Kitchen specialises in delicious dishes for vegans made from seitan. Seitan is flour made from ‘vital wheat gluten’, a natural protein found in wheat. Seitan has a meat-like texture and it is great at absorbing flavours.
Spices and other seasonings are added to the seitan while it is cooking to create the desired meat flavour, such as southern fried chicken flavour. The result is a meal which is firmly vegan but tastes like meat.
They cook these fresh every day. The Vegan Fried Chik’n is fried. The Vegan Doner is boiled
Further good news is that seitan is very high in protein and low in carbs.
Vegetarian
They do a vegetarian kebab, which is a kebab made of chunks of fresh vegetables, grilled and served in a wrap.
Kurdish cuisine
The style of food is generally familiar across the Turkey and the Middle East. But this food is specifically Kurdish and has its own particular flavours.
