Ara'yes

Ara'yes

1/2 large onion, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 small bunch fresh parsley
1 pound minced chicken
1 tomato, diced finely
1/4 tsp garam masala
2 tbsp lime juice
Salt
4 pieces pita bread, cut into quarters
Extra virgin olive oil, for brushing

1. Preheat the oven to 200 C.
2. Finely mince the onions, garlic and parsley. Combine and mix together in a large bowl and add in the chicken, tomato, garam masala and lime juice. Season with salt. Mix until well combined.
3. Arrange the pita quarters on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Fill each quarter with 2 tbsp of the mixture, flattening it out so the filling is even.
4. Brush each quarter on both sides with a little olive oil. Sprinkle salt on top.
5. Bake for 10-15 minutes, turning once halfway through. Pitas should be brown and crispy.
