In Alexandria we make it with raw dough and is cooked in the oven with the meat which gives it different taste and a better one in my opinion
These are pretty much the same as arayes. I put a little parsley in mine and a few splashes of pomegranate molasses, which adds a wonderful but not overpowering sweetness.
how do you spell the name of this awesome looking sandwich? Hawoshi?
Celebrating food addiction is a bad thing.
Such a shame you can’t visit Egypt these days. Heard it’s a nightmare, from many YouTubers.
Y’a salam y’a salam w da a7la kalam ????. My Egyptian husband loves hawawshi
Reminds me of arayes, and there's also an interesting similar dish from Aleppo, called Toshka, basically meat and kashkaval cheese in a flat bread, with pickles and zaatar. different seasoning for the meat though
omg thank you so much for working on this recipe!
These look quite similar to arayes, which I learned about from another recipe on this channel. Those had baharat as the main spice mix and parsley instead of green chili in the paste. One of the best foods I've ever eaten, so I can confidently recommend this Egyptian version too even if it's a little different!
Don't do drugs
Can I wrap the meat mixture in Persian lavash?
I've really missed these classic style Middle Eats vids! It's been a while. Great video Obi, im lookong forward to making summa these
I do love a bread recipe that doesn't make me tangle with yeast!
????????????????????????????????
Super lucky to have a local place that makes arayas!
Egyptian food every once in a while is ok because it is too heavy. But Hawawshi is the only thing Egyptian thing I really could eat everyday aside from Ful.
In Damascus they make something similar but with whole fatty lamb pieces and on the coals instead of a gridle. Also very tasty!
So, burger patties but worse? Wouldnt it be much better to cook the veg out 1st seperately, so that there wouldnt be additional moisture in the meat slurry?
