Lamb Arayes is a flavorful Middle Eastern dish originating from Levantine cuisine, combining crispy pita bread with a savory lamb filling. The filling is typically made from ground lamb mixed with herbs, spices, onion, garlic, and occasionally parsley or pine nuts for added texture and taste. Grilled or baked until golden brown, these stuffed pita pockets offer a satisfying blend of crunchy exterior and juicy, spiced meat inside. Lamb is a rich source of protein, iron, and zinc, essential for energy production and immune support. However, it is also relatively high in saturated fats, so moderation is key for heart health. The inclusion of fresh herbs and vegetables in the mix boosts its nutritional profile, making Lamb Arayes a delicious and balanced option that highlights the robust flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine. Pair with a side of fresh salad or tahini for complementary textures and nutrition.
