Can I cook Arayes on the BBQ?
Yes, and they are even better than cooking them in the oven!
Set up your BBQ with direct and indirect heat zones and get it nice and hot. Get some nice grill marks on the direct heat then transfer them to the indirect heat for 6-10 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
These lamb-stuffed arayes are a wonderfully versatile meal you could stick a salad on the side and call them lunch or go to town and make a more substantial meal.
If I were to add a salad, I would go with something like the lebanesemalfouf cabbage salad.
A tabbouleh salad or chikpea balela salad would make a slightly heartier offering but still not be too heavy.
If I wanted to bulk it out then you could add potatoes as a side. I serve them with batata harra in these pictures, a wonderful Lebanese potato dish.
Finally, I would add a dip. Here I have mixed 150g of yoghurt with a pinch of salt and a tablespoon or two of pomegranate molasses.
It is delicious and works so well with both the arayes and the potatoes!
