Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef or lamb
• 1 small Cauliflower head
• 1 medium Onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 cup Parsley
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 Low-carb pita bread or thin tortilla wraps
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) or prepare a grill on medium heat.

Step 2

Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until you achieve a rice-like consistency. This will serve as a low-carb filler for our meat mixture.

Step 3

Chop the onion finely and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef or lamb, processed cauliflower, chopped onion, garlic, and chopped parsley.

Step 5

Add tomato paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture. Mix well using your hands to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 6

Cut each low-carb pita bread or tortilla wrap in half to create pockets. Fill each pocket with a generous amount of the meat mixture, being careful not to overstuff.

Step 7

Brush the outside of each filled pita pocket with olive oil to help with browning and to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the filled pockets on a baking sheet or grill and cook for about 10 minutes on each side, until the meat is cooked through and the outside is crispy and golden.

Step 9

Once cooked, let the Arayes rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm, perhaps with a side of tzatziki or a fresh salad.
