Arayes are a flavorful Middle Eastern dish, commonly found in Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. This delicacy involves stuffing pita bread with seasoned minced meat, typically lamb or beef, then grilling it to achieve a crispy exterior and tender, juicy filling. Arayes are versatile and pair wonderfully with fresh salads, creamy tahini, or yoghurt dips. Ideal for lunch, dinner, or a savoury snack, they’re perfect for casual meals and sharing as part of a mezze spread.
