Ingredients
For the Lamb Filling
- 500 g lamb mince (or beef mince)
- 3 Tbsp Spicecraft Rockin' Moroccan Rub
- 1 tsp Pimped Pepper
- 1 small onion, finely grated
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
For the Arayes
- 4 large pita breads - or 6 small Pitas
- 2 Tbsp olive oil for brushing
Garlic Yoghurt Sauce
- 1 cup Greek yoghurt
- 3 Tbsp Tahini
- 1 clove garlic, finely grated
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- A good grind of Spicecraft's Original Salt Rocks (or plain salt) to taste
To Serve
- Fresh parsley
- Lemon wedges
- Extra Greek yoghurt
- Spicecraft's Super Dukkah (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the lamb mince, Rockin' Moroccan Rub, Pimped Pepper, onion, garlic, parsley, olive oil, lemon zest and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Prepare the Pitas: Cut each pita bread in half to create pockets. Divide the lamb mixture evenly between the pita halves, spreading it into a thin, even layer right to the edges. Press gently to flatten.
- Cook the Arayes: Brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Cook on a preheated BBQ, grill pan, sandwich press or frying pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until the pita is golden and crispy and the lamb is cooked through.
- Make the Garlic Yoghurt: While the arayes are cooking, mix together the Greek yoghurt, garlic, lemon juice and salt.
- Serve: Cut each arayes into wedges and arrange on a platter. Serve with garlic yoghurt, fresh parsley and lemon wedges, and a sprinkle of Spicecraft's Super Dukkah.
