Today we are making Arayes — Greek Inpisred Arayes otherwise known as Middle Eastern Meat Stuffed Pita!

🫓 👩🏻‍🍳🔪Comment ‘recipe’ below if you want the recipe for these Middle Eastern Arayes (Meet Stuffed Pita) — they will be sent directly to your DM’s from @foodbymaria or tap the link in my bio to access our website.

I saw Ahmad from the @thegoldenbalance post this recipe 5 weeks ago and I knew I needed to try it. He talked about the importance of granting or processing your onions in the recipe and it immediately made me think of my family’s Ketfedes (Greek Meatballs), so that’s how we landed on stuffing pita with Greek flavors. I used ingredients like onion — duh, garlic, chilli flakes and mint. Finishing it off with lemon and Tzatziki was a big flex move; honestly, these came out perfectly. I can’t wait to try Ahmad’s recipe next!

In this recipe I used @beefitswhatsfordinner @spiceology @diamondcrystalsalt @siggisdairy

🧿 Welcome to Episode 8/20 Greek Blue Zone. A series where I’ll be sharing recipes for longevity. Today we are making a Oven Baked Rice Recipe with Hemp, Herb + Feta Crusted Salmon. 🧿

One of the factors that make this a Blue Zone is the diet they follow, which is incredibly Mediterranean diet-focused, rich in organic ingredients like olive oil, nourishing vegetables, hearty legumes, fatty fish, nuts and seeds.

The rice itself is PACKED with veggies, and the fish is loaded with nutrients, BUT in the Mediterranean, there is no such thing as too much nourishment. So I got creative with the Herb Crusted Salmon and added a BONUS of 10g plant protein from @manitobaharvest Hemp Hearts. Making the crust super hearty, well-rounded and utterly delicious! They are an easy and tasty way to pack some plant-powered protein into your – or your kids’ – routine! #manitobaharvestpartner

Try them on your morning smoothie, in your cookies, dressings and more!

You probably can’t just pick up and move to a Greek Island right now, so this new Blue Zone Series aims to bring you longevity-inspired recipes that you can enjoy in the comfort of your own home.
