Preparation:

1. Fry the veggie gyros

Heat some oil in a pan.
Fry Lotao Veggie Gyros for about 5 minutes until golden brown.

2. Prepare the tomato rice

Cook the rice in a rice cooker or pot according to the instructions.
Halve the tomatoes and fry them in a hot pan with the cut side facing down.
Finely dice the onion, add it and fry.
Deglaze with vegetable broth, add oregano, salt & pepper.
Simmer for about 10 minutes, then peel off the tomato skins and puree the mixture.
Stir in tomato paste, oat cream and erythritol.
Stir in the cooked rice and mix everything well.

3. Prepare the tzatziki

Grate the cucumber or process it in a juicer (use only the pulp).
