Filling and Bread

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb or beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, diced tomato, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Stuff the Pita

    Cut each pita bread in half to create pockets. Stuff each half with the meat mixture, making sure not to overfill.

  3. 3

    Cook the Arayes

    Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium heat. Brush the outside of the stuffed pitas with olive oil. Place the pitas on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the bread is crispy and golden brown, and the meat is cooked through.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from heat and let cool for a minute before serving. Serve the Toshka Arayes warm with your choice of dipping sauce or salad.
