Ingredients
Recipe for the Toum
For the Street Sandwiches (Arayes)
2 large onions, coarsely chopped
1-1/2 cups packed fresh parsley sprigs
1-1/2 pounds ground beef (we used aged ground beef)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 t salt
6 whole pita breads
2 T olive oil
Directions
1. Place onions in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Remove and pat dry; transfer to a large bowl.
2. Add parsley to processor; pulse until minced. Stir into onions.
3. Add beef, egg and salt; mix lightly but thoroughly.
4. Slice pitas horizontally in half. Spread bottoms with meat mixture to edge. Replace pita tops; press lightly to adhere.
5. 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.
6. Cool slightly before cutting into quarters.
7. Serve with sandwiches with the Toum. The toum can be made the day before. ENJOY!
