When you don’t want to spend a long time in the kitchen to cook and end up with a pile of pots to wash, Arayess kafta (kafta sandwiches) are a life saver. Tasty, filling and can be added as a great addition to the table when you have friends coming round. #lebanesefood #easylunch #easyrecipes

Steps

15 minutes

1

Finely chop the onion and the parsley. (If you do it in a food processor don’t over pulse. You don’t want to turn them into juice!)
2

Add the finely chopped onion and parsley with all the mentioned spices to the meat and mix with your hand.
3

Spread one tablespoon of the mixture on your flat bread (i have the Lebanese flatbread). Add cheese if you want
4

If your bread is fresh it’ll be easy to put the meat between the two layers, if not then just close it like a D shape
5

Cut the flatbread into slices like a pizza
6

Now in a flat pan add a tablespoon of oil and start pan frying the meat bread for almost 3 to 4 minutes on each side so the meat is cooked and the bread is crispy. It’s a thin layer of meat so it’ll be cooked quickly. (Leave it a bit longer if you feel skeptical)
7

Serve with natural yogurt on the side and enjoy!
8

You can also grill it in the over or on a bbq which will give it an amazing smoky taste!
