Lamb arayes with chips

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup Tahini
  • 4 Garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 500g Lamb mince
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 1/2 cup Parsley
  • 1/2 cup Coriander
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Allspice
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil

Method

  • Grate the onion and use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out the excess liquid.
  • In a bowl, mix the grated onion, garlic, half the parsley and coriander, smoked paprika, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, olive oil and lamb together.
  • Slice the pita in half, fill generously with the lamb mixture, and drizzle generously with olive oil.
  • Preheat a frying pan over medium heat. Sear with the meat side down for 1-2 minutes until a crust forms, then toast the pita sides until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Transfer the arayes to an oven preheated to 180°C and bake for 15 minutes, until the lamb is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches about 160°C.
  • To make the yogurt sauce, combine the following ingredients; 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, the remaining parsley and coriander, lemon juice, tahini, 2 crushed garlic, salt, pepper and 1 tbs olive oil.
  • Serve the arayes with chips and the sauce on the side and enjoy!
