Arayes
Directions
- 1Preheat oven to 350°F.
- 2In a large bowl, mix together the beef, grated and squeezed onion, 5 grated garlic cloves, grated jalapeño, tomato paste, parsley, cilantro, olive oil, ice water, and spices until fully combined and slightly sticky.
- 3Cut the pitas in half and gently open each pocket (heat the pitas in the microwave for a few seconds first to make them easier to open).
- 4Spread a thin layer of the meat mixture inside each pita, then brush the outside generously with olive oil.
- 5Heat a pan over medium heat. Cook the arayes meat side down first for 1–2 minutes until charred, then flip and cook each pita side until golden and crispy.
- 6Finish in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the meat reaches 155°F internally.
- 7While the arayes cook, mix together remaining yogurt sauce ingredients until smooth.
- 8Brush the hot arayes with olive oil mixed with minced garlic and parsley, then serve with the dipping sauce.
