Cooking Instructions
Download PDFIn a medium-sized bowl, combine all the ingredients for the mince mixture.
Cut the pita breads in half and divide the mixture equally between them.
Flatten the pita to about 2cm thick.
Over medium coals or in a griddle pan, brush the grate or pan with some olive oil and gently fry the pita for 5-10 minutes a side or until the meat has cooked through.
To make the whipped lemon tahini, place the tahini, peeled and 2 crushed garlic cloves and lemon juice and zest in a food processor and, with the motor running, drizzle in the cold water until thickened and smooth.
Season well.
In a small bowl, combine the finely diced tomato, finely diced shallot, parsley and olive oil.
Serve the arayes immediately with the whipped lemon tahini and tomato mix.
TOP TIP!
Beef or chicken mince would be delicious substitutes for lamb mince. You can also add fresh grated carrot, butternut, pine nuts or courgette to increase the nutritional value.
