Arayes are grilled Lebanese-style sandwiches that are stuffed with a seasoned meat mixture. They're commonly found throughout the food stalls that line the streets of Beirut. If you'd rather not use a grill, they can be baked in the oven or made in a panini press. —Nikki Haddad, Germantown, Maryland

6 servings
Ingredients
2 large onions, coarsely chopped
1-1/2 cups packed fresh parsley sprigs
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
6 whole pita breads
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup tahini
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions
Place onions in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Remove and pat dry; transfer to a large bowl. Add parsley to processor; pulse until minced. Stir into onions. Add beef, egg and salt; mix lightly but thoroughly.
Slice pitas horizontally in half. Spread bottoms with meat mixture to edge. Replace pita tops; press lightly to adhere. Brush outsides of sandwiches with oil. Grill sandwiches, uncovered, over medium heat until a thermometer inserted into meat mixture reads 160°, 10-12 minutes, turning every 2 minutes. Cool slightly before cutting into quarters.
