عرايس (arayes)

Originally from the Middle East, Arayes are pita or flat bread stuffed with spiced and seasoned meat.


You will need

  • Lebanese bread
  • 500g fatty beef
  • parsley
  • 1 white onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • lebanese black pepper spice
  • lebanese mixed spices
  • red pepper spice/paprika
  • cinnamon
  • 1tbsp salt
  • 1bsp olive oil

Method

  1. Blend together parsley, onion, garlic, olive oil
  2. Mix the meat with the spices (to taste) and mix in the mixture from the first step to make a kofta mixture
  3. Stuff the kofta mix into the the lebanese bread (as thick or as thin as you like, though I prefer a thin layer of kofta)
  4. Fry the kofta-stuffed bread on both sides in a thin layer of oil (or paint the oil on the bread on each side before adding to the pan)
