1

Prep work: Marinate the [purple or red cabbage]. Slice it very thinly, squeeze lemon (1 small) (or 0.5 large lemon) over it, and sprinkle salt (0.75 teaspoon). Mix and let sit.
2

Rehydrate butler soy curls (8 ounce) in a large bowl with vegan chicken broth (3 cups) for minutes (10). Press down to cover.
3

Gently squeeze excess broth from the [butler soy curls] a handful at a time and set aside.
4

Strain remaining broth into a jar for later use (soup, rice, or freeze).
5

Dry fry [butler soy curls] in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for [3-4 minutes], stirring occasionally until browned. Reduce heat if burning.
6

Add extra virgin olive oil (3 tablespoons) (or 1-2 tbsp remaining broth) to the [butler soy curls]. Stir until moistened, then sprinkle with ground cumin (2 teaspoons), ground turmeric (1 teaspoon), dried oregano (1 teaspoon), granulated onion (1 teaspoon), garlic powder (1 teaspoon), paprika (1.5 teaspoons), and sea salt (0.75 teaspoon). Stir well until colored. Cook for [3-4 minutes] more, then remove from heat.

Assemble bowls: Start with a dollop of [hummus]. Add a scoop of vegan shawarma [butler soy curls]. Top with marinated [purple or red cabbage], sliced [cucumbers], [pickled red onions], a spoonful of [harissa], a sprinkle of [parsley], and za’atar (1 teaspoon). Serve with warm [pita bread].

Store: Great for meal prep. Store all components except [hummus] and [pita bread] together. Pack [hummus] and [pita bread] separately. [harissa] can also be packed separately. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4-5 days or freeze up to 3 months.
