Arayes Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Filling

   In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb or beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped tomato, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

2. 2

   Stuff the Pita

   Take each piece of pita bread and carefully cut it in half to create pockets. Stuff each pocket with the meat mixture, pressing gently to ensure the filling is packed in.

3. 3

   Brush with Olive Oil

   Lightly brush the outside of each stuffed pita with olive oil to help achieve a crisp texture when cooked.

4. 4

   Cook the Arayes

   Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium heat. Place the stuffed pitas on the grill or skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the pita is golden brown and the meat is cooked through.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove the Arayes from the grill or skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Cut them into halves or quarters and serve warm.
