Method
- Wash the vegetables well, drain them, and chop them very finely.
- Add them to the meat with salt and spices and mix thoroughly so the meat is well combined.
- Prepare a loaf of Arabic bread: open it and spread a quantity of the meat inside each pocket so that it covers the entire bottom side of the loaf.
- Fold the top side of the loaf over the bottom.
- Grill the meat arayes in a nonstick pan, over charcoal, or on a saj, according to preference and availability.
- Serve them hot once the bread is toasted during grilling... serve with yogurt.
