Arayes - With Pomegranate Molasses
Serves 1
Directions
- 1In a large bowl, mix ground meat, onion, garlic, parsley, Arab 7 spice, salt, pepper, and pomegranate molasses. Knead until combined.
- 2Cut the pita bread into halves or quarters. Open each piece and stuff with the meat mixture, evenly spreading it inside.
- 3Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the pan, then sear the open edge of the pita for about 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side to seal it slightly.
- 4Preheat the grill to medium heat. Brush both sides of the stuffed pita with olive oil. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the meat is cooked through and the pita is crispy.
- 5Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Brush both sides of the stuffed pita with olive oil. Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden.
