Grilled Stuffed Meat Pita (Arayes)
Grilled Stuffed Meat Pita (Arayes) is another flavorful way to cook ground meat. Arayes is middle estern food that I was introduced to years ago. Believe it or not this was my first time making it myself and it turns out really good! Originally you will mix ground beef and ground lamb meat. But do not worry if you can’t find ground lamb or a lamb meat to grind yourself. You can just use ground beef and still enjoy this delicious meal. To make the recipe lowcarb I like using lowcarb pita bread.
For this recipe, what you will need is:
- Ground lamb
- Cinnamon
- Cummin
- Onion
- Garlic
- Parsley
- Salt
- Bouillon (optional)
- Pita bread
Arayes can be made in the oven or air fryer but it will not have that original grilling flavor.
You can have your arayes with your favorite dipping sauce. For this recipe I used mango sauce, but a ranch dressing will do. A salad on a side goes well with this deliccious meal.
