In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, minced garlic, finely chopped red onion, grated tomato, parsley, and spices. Drizzle in olive oil and mix gently until just combined.

Take your Lebanese-style pita bread and cut each in half to create pockets. Spoon an appropriate amount of the meat mixture into each pocket.

Lightly coat the outside of each stuffed pita with olive oil to promote a golden-brown crust.

Preheat your grill or skillet to medium heat. Cook each side for about 3–4 minutes, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure even browning.

Once golden brown, remove the Arayes from the grill and allow them to rest for a minute before cutting into wedges. Serve warm.
