Welcome Back to Episode 4 of Getting to know your Greek Bestie. Today we are making Arayes — Greek Inspired Arayes otherwise known as Middle Eastern Meat Stuffed Pita! The full recipe is below or tap the link in my bio to access our website. Don’t forget to save this post for later! 📱 💥 You can also access all these recipes on the FoodByMaria App which is available for both Apple and Android. 📱 💥 I saw Ahmad from the @The Golden Balance post this recipe 5 weeks ago and I knew I needed to try it. He talked about the importance of granting or processing your onions in the recipe and it immediately made me think of my family's Ketfedes (Greek Meatballs), so that’s how we landed on stuffing pita with Greek flavors. I used ingredients like onion — duh, garlic, chilli flakes and mint. Finishing it off with lemon and Tzatziki was a big flex move; honestly, these came out perfectly. I can’t wait to try Ahmad’s recipe next! Here is everything you need to make this stunning Greek Inspired Arayes Recipe (Middle Eastern Meat Stuffed Pita). Ingredients — 3 pitas (5-6 inches in diameter), halved For the beef filling — 1 lb lean ground beef 1 small-medium yellow onion, grated 2 garlic cloves, grated or pressed 1 tbsp garlic powder 1 tbsp onion powder 2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 6 tbsp fresh minced mint 1/4 tsp chili flakes For serving — lemon wedges 1-2 tbsp fresh minced parsley 1/2-1 cup tzatziki (use our easy greek tzatziki recipe) Instructions — 1. Make the meat filling: combine the beef, grated onion, grated garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, fresh mint and chili flakes in a bowl and mix well with your hands or a spatula to combine. 2. Divide the meat filling into 6 portions. Shape each portion into a semi-circle that's just a bit smaller than half of a pita. Carefully open each pita half and put a flattened portion of meat into each. Close the pita and gently press to make the pita flat, the meat filling should be a half-inch thick. 3. *Note: depending on the size of pita you use, you may have more or less portions. Simply use up the beef filling between as many pita halves as needed. 4. Cook the pitas: Place a pan on medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. When the pan is hot add 2 pita halves and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and crispy, pressing down slightly on each side as the pita halves cook. Repeat until all pita halves have been cooked, adding more olive oil to the pan as needed. 5. Serve pita halves with lemon wedges for squeezing lemon juice over top, a pinch of fresh minced parsley and tzatziki sauce for dipping. #Greece #GreekFood #GreekRecipes #MiddleEasternRecipes #Arayes #GreekTok

Scoop it. Press it. Roll it. Bake it. Introducing the incredibly VIRAL Lazy Kebab Rolls. 🍡 Full recipe linked in my bio! These are crispy, juicy, flavor-packed little rolls that taste like your favorite kebab shop… but made right in your oven. Thin lavash bread (in this video, you’ll see me using wraps because that’s what I already had at home, and I’m all about limiting food waste, and this works with both wraps and lavash) is layered with a spiced meat mixture, rolled up, sliced into pinwheels, and baked until golden and crunchy on the outside while staying tender and juicy on the inside. NOTE: the wraps I had at home were lager for Breakfast Burriots, to get a thicker meat layer, use a smaller wrap/the smaller lavash bread with the same amount of meat. Simple ingredients, big flavor, and honestly one of the most fun ways to eat kebabs. What I love most about this recipe is how easy it is to serve. Whether it’s a family dinner, game night, or you’re having people over, these little pinwheels come out looking impressive but require minimal effort. Just roll, slice, bake, and watch them disappear from the tray. They’re also perfect with all the extras — a cool garlic yogurt sauce, fresh herbs, maybe a little salad on the side. Crispy, savory, and incredibly satisfying. Don’t confuse the simplicity with laziness… these rolls are seriously addictive and will absolutely become a repeat recipe. #kebab #cookinghack #easyrecipes #kebabrolls
