1846. Arayes Sprial Skewers

Arayes is a classic Arabian snack, and presenting them as spirals on a skewer is novel and innovative. I served it with a side of kefir ranch dip, and it was delicious. 

All it is, is the classic arayes mixture, cut and baked differently.

Ingredients:

400g minced meat

2 tomatoes, finely diced

1 red or yellow capsicum, finely diced

1 green capsicum, finely diced

1 large green chili, de-seeded, finely diced

1 small onion, finely diced

3 cloves garlic, crushed

a handful of parsley, finely chopped

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 tsp Madras

1/4 tsp chili

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 1/2 tsp alspice

5 Tbsp olive oil

lebanese pita bread

Ranch dip, to serve

Method:

Mix all the ingredients together except for the bread.

Separate the pita through the seam and spread a thin layer, pressing with the back of a spoon, on each side. Proceed to lightly roll up each pita side, containing the meat inside, and then skewer them lightly. It is key to not pack tightly so each piece gets as crispy as possible. Brush with extra olive oil.

Bake in a preheated 400F oven for 20-25 minutes, and broil for a minute if needed.

Serve with a side of ranch dip.
