It is only befitting that Palestinian women pride themselves on their one-of-a-kind kitchen skills; their touch always seems to brew something grand, just like in this traditional arayes recipe.

While I am not exactly sure as to why these meat-stuffed pitas came to be called Arayes, I can theorize:

  1. The name was adopted to illustrate the minimal skill and time that a Palestinian bride needs to whip up an extraordinary meal;
  2. Our foremothers were drawing an analogy, demonstrating that the most authentic beauty is in simplicity;
  3. Our foremothers were comparing the physical characteristics of this dish, which has a golden, crunchy topside and a soft, juicy, and savory inside, to the personality of a Palestinian woman (specifically a bride), which generally consists of a soft and marvelous nature hidden beneath our tough golden skin.

I can theorize until somebody else tells me otherwise.

Like every Palestinian dish I have made, this arayes recipe was passed down from generation to generation, to my mama, to me. It’s delicious, fulfills the craving for
