Arayes is a street food that started out in Lebanon and Syria. It’s a huge crowd pleaser and simple to make. The traditional version is made with minced meat, but it’s delicious made with fish and a mix of spices.

These can be made in advance – and even frozen raw so they are ready to go when you fancy a fake-away. Delicious with Israeli salad.

METHOD:

  • Halve the pitas across the middle so you have 8 pockets.

Ingredients

4 pita bread (can use wholemeal/gluten free)
500g white skinless fish fillets (it can be any mixture of white flaky fish - such as cod, hake, bream etc)
¼ bunch parsley
¼ bunch coriander
1 sprig of mint, leaves picked
1 tbsp fish seasoning mix/ ras el hanout/ 1tsp cumin plus 1tsp turmeric
Salt and pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
