I watched Gaz's video on this a bit ago and my mouth was drooling wanting it and you succeeded in making it just as appealing. Kudos and thanks for showing us that we too can do it. Really appreciate that and you.
Gaz is so over the top with his cooking methods though lol. It's definitely nice if you're cooking for others, but if you're doing it yourself, it's not that practical. I make a version of this and just use white buttons or cremini. Take the flat side of a knife and smash the mushroom (kind of like you do with a garlic clove), then fry in a pan, take it out, chop in slivers, coat with spices and bake. You can also add slices of tofu to bulk it up too. You get the same tenderness/juiciness and crispy parts as with regular shawarma.
LOL, I do love Gaz' videos, but you're right, he is very extra when it comes to cooking methods sometimes. He's like a chef version of Tim Allen's character in the sitcom "Home Improvement" - "More power! * manly grunts * " -, except that Gaz is infinitely more likeable.
Edgy Veg recipes fall into "I need to impress my date and make them think that I cook like this all the time" category. Pro tip, buy your specialty mushrooms, like oyster mushrooms, at an Asian grocery store. In my experience, the Asian store prices are significantly less than a regular grocery store.
@@EdgyVeg Totally agree. I bought jew's ear mushrooms dehydrated and shrunken down in an Asian store recently, and rehydrated a bunch of them at home, and they grew so much in volume and had such delicious flavour and texture after cooking! And they only came at a couple of bucks. Like 3 Euros or something for a really big bag.
I have a great tip for that pita! Separate the 2 layers like a book and make sure you keep them attached at the bottom. Then you put the filling between the layers in a line and when you close the top layer, you can wrap both sides in. And as long as you kept them connected at the bottom, the stuff doesn't spill out! It makes for a much cleaner sandwich! Sometimes the layers can be hard to separate, but just bite or cut a small little piece off the edge, and then you can get your fingers in between the layers to pull them apart at that seam.
I'm from Toronto and oyster mushrooms are very easy to find. Any Asian grocery would have them. And we have an abundance of Asian markets. We're very lucky!
@Edgy Veg, I created an amazing Vegan mac-n-cheeze that is mind-blowingly realistic. Here's the recipe for you to try. "Herne's Vegan "Slap Yo Mama" Mac-n-Cheeze" 1) Prepare in a saucepan 8 palmsfull (approx 7 oz or 1 1/2c) macaroni (no salt), to just past al dente; drain, and return to pot. 2) Add about 1/2c Daiya Cheddar Style shreds; mix until mostly melted. 3) Next, add about 2-3 TBSP, each, Kroger Simple Truth Organic plant sour cream, & Nurishh Cream Cheese Spread Alternative; mix until these are creamed through. Turn heat back on, to level 3 (low-medium). 4) Add seasonings of: 1/2tsp, each, salt, fresh ground black pepper,, and turmeric, then, pour over about 1/3c Myoko's Liquid Vegan Pizza Mozzarella; mix till blended. 5) Last, pour over about 1/2c Silk Next Milk (2%); mix well to combine. Serves two adults
I make shwarma the regular way and since I am transitioning to Vegan full time, I made a seitan version using the WTF method and MY GOD!!! I need to do a video! Amazing and it can be done.
I'm a big fan of cast iron, and I have found (with a gas stove) that heating the pan low and slow makes for better cooking every time. The pan still gets plenty hot, but it does so evenly and slowly enough that you won't have sticking, cold spot, or burning issues. ETA: I watched the vid he did with Chef Sarno recently making oyster mushroom BBQ. They added oil in each time they flipped or pressed the mushrooms to build up a fattiness. I think that would aid with the spice burning issue for sure.
I love watching you make complicated vegan dishes while I eat my simple quesadilla 😂 it’s yum tho: mashed sweet potato, spicy black bean burger and vegan cheese with salsa 😋
You did a great job simulating Gaz's version of the vegan shawarma. I made them a few months ago after I watched his video, just baking the mushrooms on high heat in the oven without the skewers and they turned out amazing! I made them for my brother and sister-in-law and they were blown away by the flavors. I've made it several times since then because it's so damn good! By the way who is the jazz musician playing in the background? The music was a great addition to the video.
2:38 that scraping sound 😭 I could hear the nonstick pan screaming "no! please don't use metal utensils to scrape stuff off of me! use the cast iron that you just used as a weight!".
Wow glad I did youtube search before trying this. I too don't have an open flame and was going to try my own version glad to know someone like as experienced as you have tried this. I can follow your version. BTW I think you should have made it in the cast iron pan then it might not burn. Which pan are you using? It looks like a non-stick but you are using a steel/metal spoon and it does not seem to be scratching the pan.
Made this tonight, amazing ! But it’s mushrooms a vegans favourite in our house anyway, a little adjustment to our taste but overall fab and tasty cheers babe xx
Hello! Awesome video as usual! Could you please do a review of just egg? I keep getting ads now (I live in Canada) on it and I want to know if it is a good substitute. I trust ur palette like u wouldn't believe haha
You would get a better sear in a cast iron pan and maybe release more juice out of the mushroom, and then you put spice on the squished mushroom. It looked delicious anyway, thanks for the demonstration.
Excellent recipe 👌 Candice the Edgy Veg and I know I would prefer your version because it is more simple. Enjoyed your video and love 🥰 it. It was good to see the beautiful,gorgeous and lovely Molly Edgy Veg Junior do a taste test at the end of the video. Love💕💞Candice & Molly.
Haven't tried to order it but that's odd it doesn't deliver to Canada. Candice/EdgyVeg is in Toronto and she's receives it and is promoting it. Maybe not every province. Send Candice a DM and ask her. Good luck.
Absolutely gorgeous. The food looks good too. I always have oyster shrooms on hand so I'll have to try this. I wasn't joking, you're killing me with that dress.
I need to show my parents MUD/WTR since 1. It’s Kosher (jew here) 2. It looks really healthy and I have trouble sleeping and I had a really bad crash at work (babysitting) and my mind was awake but my body wasn’t. 3. I really need to start changing my diet/habits since I am getting older and it sucks a lot. Hopefully this will help me out and save me money from spending on SB or DD runs.
8:00 Love the food porn with the porn music lol. Seriously though great job. GAZ’s recipe wasn’t exactly accessible for your typical nonprofessional cook but yours is. Cheers! 🍻
Okay can we just talk about the mind-blowing quality of your videos 🤯😳
No. We can not.
thank you!
Uh, ok, what do you want to know.

Yeah, as a Lebanese, it hurt to see the bread being used like that :p
@@tessagraywood3091 lol I wouldn't say it hurt but I do feel it!
I'm from Toronto and oyster mushrooms are very easy to find. Any Asian grocery would have them. And we have an abundance of Asian markets. We're very lucky!
Oh man, I just love how versatile mushrooms are! 😍
I'm always amazed by what mushrooms can do!

I watched his episode and it looked amazing. I'm glad you've done it on a smaller scale 😁
Thanks! 😄
Yummy. I’m a vegan Lebanese, so I haven’t had Shawarma in a long time. Thank you for this recipe 👍🏻
I hope you enjoy it!

He did his on an open flame though Candice. So high heat is relative😊
I seen Gas's video. I also love your convenient recipe. You did a great job!! I appreciate that.
Awesome! Thank you!

just wondering what high temp you use? thanks!

It wasn’t a non stick pan
@@EdgyVeg sorry, my bad then. I've never seen a pan with a marble pattern like that that wasn't nonstick
@@TalZion Lol she is the EDGY veg!

Sadly MUD\WTR is not available in Canada but thanks for sharing this video. I will definitely have to make this recipe! :)
I live in South Africa. Here we invite the fire department to enjoy a braai (barbeque) with us.
Great video and worth a like.
Can you please do falafels?? 😻
Hello! Awesome video as usual! Could you please do a review of just egg? I keep getting ads now (I live in Canada) on it and I want to know if it is a good substitute. I trust ur palette like u wouldn't believe haha
Great suggestion!
The look you give at 9:01 is how I know you're a true foodie. Btw, that dress looks made for you!
thank you!
I really like that knife! This recipe looks great too!
“Did that sound dirty?”
Molly is my spirit animal🤷♀️

@@EdgyVeg or maybe slices of eggplant, tooo!!!
I love these review videos and your hair looks AMAZING today 🤩
Thank you so much!!
It’s always amazing just VERY different lol
Thank you so much 🎉

Candace you look scrumptious!
That looks delicious definitely try it 😋🤤
Did she say 45 minutes? 😳
Hope you enjoy
Tried to order the Mudwater and apparently it doesn’t ship to 🇨🇦. Too bad. Hope they do eventually.
I tried as well :(

I love oyster mushrooms
What spices and herbs did you use and how much for the amount you made?
you can find the recipe here! www.avantgardevegan.com/recipes/vegan-shawarma/ I halved it
What was the spice mix?
I just wanted to say your red dress with your red hair is 🔥🥵
thank you!
When people say “what are you eating”?
Looks so yummy!
thanks!
Looks sooo good
Thanks!
Slight improvement.. Just fill the first pot with water, then you wong break your foot when the cast iron falls off 😆
I just found a while bunch of oyster mushrooms on a hike. 🤔
Absolutely gorgeous. The food looks good too. I always have oyster shrooms on hand so I'll have to try this. I wasn't joking, you're killing me with that dress.
thank you!!
Will try!
Hope you enjoy!
I love your hair!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😍
thanks!
Gaz always looks like his hair was freshly painted that morning.
not sure how to take that...
@@EdgyVegThe person/s responsible should take it as a complement! =D
You rock, Candice! “Gaz” could learn a lot from you. 😎
Thanks so much!
I am going to blow my family’s carnivore minds with this.
they'll love it!
Loved this one!
So glad!
Could probably do the mushrooms in a panini press.
that should work! but panini presses can be a bit small so it may take a while
This looks delicious 🤤
it totally is!
Wish the camera focused more on the food.
Ok, god damn that looks so awesome. And just by the look on your face, it definitely tastes awesome.
It is!!
Thank you.
You're welcome!

sounds like a great solution
Man I wish I could do that. I’m poor:-/
Every video I've seen of yours recently all I think is, "I should cut my hair short again!!"
do it!!
Yum
:)
Where the written recipe?

I can't watch these that have loud music, sorry.
What about camera man? 😞He's hungry too.
he got some!
❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 love
It's not called middle eastern salad, its proper name is "Tabouli".
He called it middle eastern salad in his recipe. So that’s what I called it
You are not making shawarma, you are imitating the tacos al pastor, it is not the same than shawarma
Fussing and touching your hair is off putting.
That tortilla looks so bad you could have used toilet paper and it would have been better.
It looks 🔥 making it tomorrow. Thank you 😊
Hope you enjoy
