• total time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

4 matzah squares

Meat Filling

1 pound ground beef (or any ground meat of choice)

1 onion, finely chopped

4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 red pepper, finely chopped

1 bunch parsley, finely chopped

1 red chili, finely chopped (optional)

¼ cup oil

1 tbsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp paprika

½ tsp cinnamon

Tehina Dressing

1 cup pure sesame paste (tehina) or almond butter

¾ cup water

5 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp salt

2 garlic cloves (optional)

For Garnish

chopped parsley

sliced red chilies

Directions

Wet matzah under running water and place in a clean towel until flexible but not falling apart. If needed, reset an additional time and wrap again.

In a bowl, mix ground meat, onion, garlic, red pepper, parsley, and chili.

Cut each softened matzah into four squares.

Place a heaping tablespoon of meat on each square, spreading toward three corners. Fold into a triangle and press the filling to the edges.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook arayes face down about 5 minutes until crisp, flip and cook another 5 minutes.

Using tongs, sear the exposed meat sides briefly.

Transfer to a rack to drain excess oil.

Whisk tehina, water, lemon juice, salt, and garlic until smooth.

Drizzle with tehina and garnish with parsley and sliced red chilies.

Serve warm and enjoy.
