––––––––––––--
ARAYES - Lebanese meat stuffed crispy pita {Makes 10 halves}
5 pita bread, the thin pocket type, ~15cm/6 diameter (250g/8oz pack), cut in half*
Olive oil spray (or brush with olive oil)
SPICED MEAT FILLING:
1/2 onion, grated using box grater
500g/ 1 lb lamb or beef mince (ground meat)
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 tbsp finely chopped parsley, optional
3 tsp EACH coriander, cumin
1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (sub plain paprika)
3/4 tsp ground allspice (sub mixed spice)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (reduce/omit for less spicy)
1 1/4 tsp cooking/kosher salt
WHIPPED TAHINI YOGURT SAUCE:
1 cup plain yogurt (250g), 2 tbsp tahini, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 garlic clove finely grated, 1/2 tsp cooking/kosher salt
1. Mix filling ingredients. Divide into 10 portions, flatten into thin semi-circle about the shape of a pita half. Stuff inside pita, enclose, press to spread to edges. (If pita is tearing, microwave 15 sec then use butter knife to split).
2. Spray with oil, pan fry on medium high 2 min each side until crispy and meat is cooked. Keep cooked ones warm in 50C/120F oven on rack. Serve with sauce!
3. Sauce: Whisk to mostly combine then microwave 20 sec on high. Whisk again – should be like soft whipped cream. Serve slightly warm or at room temp.
* Can use 2 to 3 x large Lebanese bread instead, then once cooked cut into large pieces. Flatbreads (like tortillas) – spread meat on half, fold over then cook like quesadillas!
Lebanese Meat Stuffed Pita (Arayes) Are a Satisfying Weeknight Meal ???? #recipe
For the full recipe visit
Arayes are a popular Lebanese street food and they will be your new weeknight favourite. You start by stuffing a pita with spiced ground beef. The pita is then grilled until crispy as the meat tenderly cooks inside. The result is a sandwich that’s crispy on the outside and incredibly juicy in the middle. You can use beef or lamb, depending on your preference. We like to use fluffier, small pitas but any size will do. Serve arayes alongside a simple tahini drizzle to compliment all of the flavours.
