Sauce:
1/2 large cucumber, peeled
1 cup plain vegan yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon dried chives
1 teaspoon sucanat
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper to taste
Meat:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
1 (16 ounce) package seitan
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
Sandwich:
1 tomato, thinly sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
2 cups shredded lettuce
6 pita bread rounds

1
Grate cucumber into a colander; place in a sink and allow to drain for 20 minutes. Squeeze out remaining moisture and transfer to a small bowl. Add vegan yogurt, lemon juice, dill, chives, sucanat, salt, and black pepper and stir well. Cover and refrigerate until needed. Stir well before using.
2
Heat olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook gently until golden, about 1 minute. Add seitan in a single layer, if possible. Brown seitan gently, about 5 minutes. While seitan cooks, blend cumin, oregano, basil, cinnamon, nutmeg, and chili powder together in a bowl. Sprinkle spice mix over browned seitan and toss. Continue browning seitan until heated thoroughly and golden brown, about 5 minutes more.
3
Assemble a sandwich by layering seitan, tomato, onion, and lettuce on a pita. Spoon sauce on top. Repeat with remaining fillings, sauce, and pita.
