Ingredients

Instructions

1. Grate the onion on a box grater into a bowl, keeping all its juices. Add the remaining meat filling ingredients and mix well with your hands.
2. Divide the filling into 10 portions (about 55 to 60 g, 1/4 cup each) and flatten each into a semicircle slightly smaller than a pita half.
3. Gently open a pita half, place a portion of meat inside, close it and press the meat evenly to the edges.
4. Preheat the oven to 120°F (50°C) and place a rack on a tray to keep the cooked arayes warm.
5. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Spray both sides of the pita with olive oil and cook 2 or 3 pieces at a time for about 2 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until golden and crisp.
6. Move the cooked arayes to the rack in the oven to keep warm, then cook the rest.
7. Cut in half if you like, pile on a platter and serve with the whipped tahini sauce.
8. For the whipped tahini sauce: put the ingredients in a heatproof bowl and whisk to combine. Microwave on high for 15 seconds, then whisk again until it resembles soft whipped cream. Use slightly warm or at room temperature.
