Today\u2019s delicious recipe is in partnership with the American Lamb Board. All opinions are my own. You may notice we only use American lamb in our recipes. That\u2019s because it\u2019s the highest quality and freshest lamb you can get.<\/p>\n

What is Arayes?<\/h2>\n

\"A\"A<\/p>\n

Arayes is a recipe very popular in the Levant countries of the Middle East. It\u2019s simply a mixture of flavorful ground lamb (or beef or a mix) that is stuffed into a pita bread.<\/p>\n

Once stuffed into that bread, the bread is grilled, baked or pan fried until crisp. In the meantime the meat fillling cooks along while the bread is crisping.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a fascinatingly simply concept that\u2019s utterly DELICIOUS!<\/p>\n

As with many old recipes that are passed from generation to the other, expect some differences. Some cultures will have a more garlic taste compared to the other. And even within the same culture, expect some grandmas to add in a spice that distinguishes her recipe compared to others.<\/p>\n

So this is the way my grandmother made it. In Egypt, it\u2019s referred to as \u201cHawawshi\u201d and it\u2019s made with thin or thick pitas. Thin pitas are extra crisp and can be used as meat flavored chips. Thick pitas are more of a sandwich than a chip.<\/p>\n

Today we\u2019re making BOTH versions and you can choose your favorite!<\/p>\n
