Arayes
Directions
- 1Make the filling by combining all filling ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well and let rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or better yet, overnight.
- 2Make the dipping sauce by combining all sauce ingredients in another bowl. Mix well and let it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
- 3Slice the pita bread in half and gently open it. Fill with the meat mixture and set aside.
- 4Heat a grill pan and oil it well. Once hot, add the arayes one by one and cook for about 30 seconds on each side, ensuring grill marks form.
- 5Remove from grill and place in a preheated oven at 180°C for 10 minutes, until the meat is cooked and the bread is crispy.
- 6Serve with the dipping sauce and enjoy!
