Arabic food has been a weekly ritual in my house for the past 14 years. Your recipes have helped me learn a lot of Arabic cooking before going to college. 😄
Just finished making these and they were amazing! Perfectly balanced with the sumac onion salad. Husband went wild for them too. Thank you for this recipe!
In China we have meat pies that look very similar. Two grilled pita-like layers with thick meat filling s in between. But the filling composition would be very different (pork, cabbage, not a lot of spices).
@@j.w.vriesde4145 Look for "Xian Bing" on the internet and that should get you started. That's the Chinese meat pie that looks like the ones here. The Muslim Chinese one with lamb is called "Kao Bao Zi". But it is more similar to an Indian samosa in terms of the crust's texture. The inside is much more juicy than a samosa, though. It is the most popular street food in the Xinjiang, where the Uyghur people are from. Both are delicious and can be prepared a variety of ways.
I LOVE these!!!! I hate having a burger with all the bun....this is a perfect ratio and not as heavy!!! Plus I love the texture the pita bread gets. I've been known to use tortillas in a pinch too!!!!
Made your arayes twice, and they’re amazing as always! It’s very difficult to get ground lamb where I live, so I just used all ground beef, which came out amazing. Made it again today, but realized I only had 200g of ground beef, and my local grocery store doesn’t sell ground beef, so I ended up subbing in ground pork, which also came out amazing. Made the sumac onions this time, and they’re a must have with the arayes.
Felafel mix . The dried packaged variety hydrated Some fresh parsley and tomato and green onion so yum . So quick . With humous or tzatziki . Or pickles. For vegetarian version
Just made a vegan version of these and they were absolutely fantastic. Like a quesadilla without the hassle of folding and easy to fill up. Will definitely be making these lots. Might not ever make quesadillas again, lol
Hawawshi mix has chopped up green chilli, it's usually about 40% fat. It also has more cumin, coriander, and garlic for the Egyptian flavour profile. Oh and it's thicker!
I have made these arayes twice already, I really really like them. Would make it even more often but I can{t get the bread locally so I have to order online.
Aweso recipe! A question: is it possible to make this with vegetarian meat (beyond or something)? Do I have to adjust for the fat percentage, if so: how?
That works too, the only problem with that though is it affects the texure of the kofta. In arayed it won't matter since there is bread anyway, but bread crumbs in regular kofta is not a great idea
You can use date honey, butt pomegranate molasses has a unique sour tinge to it. So if you have access to it you can use sumac to replicate something close.
I love seeing how happy you are with your food. Your eyes say it all,... "I'm not sharing no wayyyy" hahahahaha! What a tasty looking recipe, thank u for sharing
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm my question is thooooo! what can we make from that onion water..:? maby a fermented hotsauce onion water insted of water? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm also #notification squad
I make similar recipe which I learned from my local Lebanese street vendor. It's a family favorite. Greetings from Bulgaria 🇧🇬

Also, love the big brain hack about oiling the spoon for sticky ingredients like honey and pomegranate molasses.
Its smarter to just not use a spoon.. no human would taste the difference if its 1 gram more or less

Haram.
@@ruhmuhaccer864 Muslim Chinese use lamb or chicken. Still very delicious.
Say hello to the ✨Turks✨ oh I love history

Awesome! Thanks Obi! These look awesome and I can't wait to make them at a all day picnic tomorrow. Have a great weekend!
Thanks, hope you enjoy them!
I made this about 2 weeks ago. Everyone in my family enjoyed them and we had enough leftover for a few lunches. Keep up the great content!
Very nice and fast! I'm sure I'll be making this over and over again too.
You can also use cheese cloth and wring the patty like you would with the farmer cheese.

Been watching your videos for ages and this is the first recipe I’ve tried they are so so so delicious!!!!
so are you supposed to strain it after you mix the onions and psrley and garlic??? or you grind the onions first then strain them?
I love your channel , recipes , style of cooking . You are such a character! Especially when you are tasting your finished dish !

That’s a great idea, Mandy - felafel mix for a vegetarian version!
What kind of cinnamon do you use? It does make a difference. Thanks for clarification.
Man, this looks absolutely incredible. Making this straight away
Thank you for the recipe. What brand of pomegranate molasses is that?

Hey Obi. What's the difference between this and Hawawshi? Also can we get a Hawawshi video if we don't already?
Hawawshi mix has chopped up green chilli, it's usually about 40% fat. It also has more cumin, coriander, and garlic for the Egyptian flavour profile. Oh and it's thicker!
Got it, didn't know about the chili. Thanks Obi!
I love arayes. Haven't had it in years. Really miss it...
Good looking stuff! Will be hard to find those pittas near me I think, so might even have to try make my own
WOW that is unbelievably delicious 🤤
You are so awesome, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
I actually have this planned in for this week using your first recipe!
Arayes with laban are the best ❤️
Just made this recipe, it is amazing.
Love this shorter style video. Quick, easy to follow, straight to the point and best of all looks delicious
Made this tonight thay are delicious a new favourite
Would have arayes any day any time... classic winner
Love Arayes to the core. Thank you. ❤️
hawawshy is similar to it but its made in egypt and with thicker pita bread
In Egypt this is called hawawshi.
I love making them with beyond mince
YUMMMYYYY and I’m so hungry right now too 😭😭😭😭 I need these NOW!
Arayes on a charcoal grill is top tier.
Cheese and you’ve got an amazing quesadilla
Can I do this with two pieces of lavash instead of pita. It's kind of hard finding pita like that.
I have made these arayes twice already, I really really like them. Would make it even more often but I can{t get the bread locally so I have to order online.
Arayees is my absolute favourite 🤩
you could also fix the köfte mix by adding breadcrumbs, you dont notice them in the end really
Man I bet it would delicious to make Quesadillas that way...
Aweso recipe! A question: is it possible to make this with vegetarian meat (beyond or something)? Do I have to adjust for the fat percentage, if so: how?
Yes it is possible. Maybe add butter?
Bride - my childhood fave
Most valuable video!
Great recipe
How about adding some cheese for a quesadilla+arayes hybrid?
MashAllah we make these all the time but call them hawawshi… my kids are obsessed lolz !!! Mmmm yum Sa7a
That is the Egyptian version 😀 Probably less parsley and more hot spices? I'm not sure but maybe there's some dill (shabat) in it too? 🤔
Your recipes always look so delicious!
Instead of straining the meat dough, you can add a dry toast slice that dries your dough from within.
That works too, the only problem with that though is it affects the texure of the kofta. In arayed it won't matter since there is bread anyway, but bread crumbs in regular kofta is not a great idea
@@MiddleEats If you mix it thoroughly there will be no crumbs. Believe me.
@@davidcomtedeherstal That's more akin to Italian meatballs where they add bread to the mince but it may not be suitable for Arabian kofte.
@@allroundlad Nah, my Mom is lebanese and if a meat dough is too mushy she always adds some dry toast to get the dough to dry more.
@@davidcomtedeherstal As a Turk I can attest to this.
Love your videos my friend
How much time and what temperature for oven ?
Can we have a low fodmap falafel recipe?
Do you feature that Shawarma spice mix in a different recipe of yours?
Reminds me of Egyptian Hawawshi.
You use pomegranate molasses quite often, any replacements for it .?
You can use date honey, butt pomegranate molasses has a unique sour tinge to it. So if you have access to it you can use sumac to replicate something close.
You can not add it. Its optional.
Obi’s videos are getting a lot more confident and concise
He has no time These days it isnt bout concision lmfao.
@@ruhmuhaccer864 I’m sure his time is limited, I was saying the quality of his videos is getting better. At least more professional.
what's the difference between arayes and hawawshy?
Is Boharat the same as Baharat? Whats a good recipe for the spice blend?
lol just a typo i see
Yes, it's two different spellings. You can also see Bharat used. I don't have a recipe for it, but there are some online
@@MiddleEats Thanks, I made these with homemade pita yesterday, absolutely fire!😁
These look really good. Reminds me of the Mexican quesadilla.
Ohh, gonna do this tomorrow :P
What's the difference between Araays
And Egyptian Hawawshi?
These look good
That looks delicious
In Pakistan we call them qeemay waley parathay and we have them at breakfast.
Delicious😋😍
Can you do Mujadara?
how to make them crispy ?
Great awsome
I think that's a more green less thick hawawshi then lol❤️😂
Reminded me of a paratha for some reason
It's like Hawawshi
I don't like onions (might be slightly alergic)
Can I make this without onions and garlic? 🤔
Of course
NOM! Your wife is one lucky woman!
omg I never knew grating onions turns it into grated onion, mind blown :)
Wow 👌
Did you make this video a week ago?
So, an onion and parsley went to the food processing with three cloves of garlic. I want to hear the rest of that joke.
I love seeing how happy you are with your food. Your eyes say it all,... "I'm not sharing no wayyyy" hahahahaha! What a tasty looking recipe, thank u for sharing
👍🏴
Are you doing better? I see you up and cooking again...
looks delicious , but where's the cheese?!
Hawawshi???
Wooo wii
Haha…you didn’t want to redo the demo of showing squeezing the onions and parsley. I like how you moved on and showed your mistake.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm my question is thooooo! what can we make from that onion water..:? maby a fermented hotsauce onion water insted of water? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

onion juice is great for marinating any meat for kebabs
