Meat Filling

Pita Preparation

Method

Prepare the Meat Filling

  1. 1

    Mix the Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, and parsley. Add salt, black pepper, and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Prepare the Pitas

  1. 2

    Stuff the Pita

    Take each piece of pita bread and carefully cut a pocket into the side. Stuff each pita with an even amount of the meat filling, pressing gently to make sure it’s packed in well.

  2. 3

    Brush with Olive Oil

    Once all pitas are stuffed, brush the outside of each pita with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Grill the Arayis

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Grill the Stuffed Pitas

    Place the stuffed pitas on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the pitas are golden brown and crispy, and the meat is cooked through.

Serve

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the arayis from the grill, let them cool slightly, and then slice them in half. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce or salad.
