Mushroom souvlaki with tzatziki and za'atar flatbread

The flavour and texture is next level here — a Greek fast food typically comprising small pieces of meat or vegetables grilled on a skewer — and it’s usually eaten straight off the skewer while still hot.

My version is absolutely delicious — with button mushrooms marinated with a gorgeous mix of spices, balsamic, soy and tomato paste. They absorb and take on the flavour, and you can use any remaining marinade (add a little oil to loosen) as an extra topping.

The tzatziki adds a perfectly cooling creamy contrast to the mushrooms and squidgy herby flatbreads.

I hope you love this. Let me know what you think?

Much love, Niki xx

    This was honestly incredible. I used cauliflower to accommodate a mushroom allergy and lamb to accommodate meat eaters, both were delicious. Mushrooms were divine too! A winner to add to our rotations. Thank you. 🙏🏼

    Hello! I’m a bit confused with this recipe sorry… the flatbread ingredients seem to be included under the marinade ingredients? And there are no instructions on how to actually cook the mushrooms once you’ve marinated them… are they grilled? Fried? Baked? Any help appreciated, thank you!
