Arayes: Authentic Jordanian recipe

Preheat the oven to 430 F (220˚C).

Combine all the ingredients, except the tomatoes and the pita bread, and knead the mixture for 5 minutes.

Add the tomatoes and mix well for 5 minutes.

Spread a layer of the meat mixture into each pita bread.

Brush each pita bread with olive oil on both sides.

Arrange the stuffed breads on the oven rack in the center of the oven.

Bake at 430 F (220°C) for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through baking so that the arayes are golden and crisp on both sides.

Cut each sandwich into 3 or 4 and serve hot, accompanied by a vegetable salad (salata baladi), green salad and labneh.
