Vegetarian Gyro

It's not a gyro. It's a cousin to a felafel, but in a hurry. Which brings up the issue: why don't I know how to make felafel at home? I made this one day when I was a student. I did everything as quickly as possible with what was in the fridge.

1 package Morningstar Farms (or other) sausage patties, sauteed according to package directions then broken into bite sized hunks
4 pita pockets (four big halves, toasted and split)
Tabouli or alternative (recipe below)
Greek Yoghurt/Raita/Taziki
Goat cheese

Open one of the pita halves
Put the hot veggie sausage into the bottom inch or so of the pita.
Add another inch of tabouli or Tomato Salad
Add dabs of Greek or plain yoghurt and some generous dabs of goat cheese.


**
Tomato Salad

Olive oil
garlic
tomato
avocado or cucumber
red onion (optional)
dab of Dijon mustard (optional)
lemon juice

In a bowl pour about 2t olive oil and a finely minced clove of garlic.
Press the garlic with your finger into the bowl.
Add a diced tomato, diced cucumber, etc.
Add the juice from a wedge or two of lemon
Lightly salt and pepper
