LEBANESE MEAT-STUFFED PITAS (ARAYES)
Christina Perozzi from beerforchicks.com suggests the Deschutes Black Butte Porter from Bend, Oregon. It looks dark, but it has a light and bright body, nutty and smoky flavors, and a dry finish that will work perfectly with this snack.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a food processor, combine the onions, garlic, and parsley until finely minced. Remove to a large bowl and add in the beef, tomato, garam masala, pine nuts, and lemon juice. Season with salt. Mix with your hands until well combined.
- Arrange the pita quarters on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Fill each quarter with about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture, flattening it out so the filling is even. Brush each quarter on both sides with a little olive oil. Sprinkle salt on top.
- Bake for 20 minutes, turning once halfway through. Pitas should be browned and crispy.

MINI CALZONES
Sponsored by Classico® Pasta Sauce. These little pockets of pizza are perfect finger food. Enjoy them as an appetizer before an Italian feast, or as an easy weeknight meal the whole family will love--just add a hearty salad. A few shortcut ingredients in the recipe, including store-bought garlicky tomato sauce, save you time without skimping on flavor.

Yield 8 mini calzones
Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Sprinkle a baking sheet with the semolina and set aside.
- Lightly flour a work surface and roll the dough into a round that is about 12 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. Cut out 8 rounds with a 3 1/2- to 4-inch biscuit cutter or drinking glass. Dust with flour and cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
- Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Combine the cheese blend, ricotta, 1/4 cup Parmesan, scallions and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place 3 slices of the pepperoni on one half of each round of dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edges. Top each round with 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture.
- Brush the egg wash around the edges of one dough round using your finger or a pastry brush. Gently fold the dough over the filling to enclose and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough rounds.
- Brush the tops of the calzones with the egg wash and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
- Place the calzones on the prepared baking sheet and bake on the middle rack until golden, 14 to 16 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through for even baking.
- While the calzones bake, heat the tomato sauce in a medium saucepan over medium heat until bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Place the calzones on a platter with the sauce and serve immediately.
MINI CALZONES
Steps:
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a medium-size, heavy skillet. Add the sausage and cook until crumbled and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the arugula and cook until wilted. Turn off the heat and let cool for about 10 minutes. Add the cream cheese, 1/3 cup of the Parmesan, the salt, and the pepper and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to a thin 20 by 12-inch rectangle. Cut the rectangle in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 8 equal rectangles.
- Spoon some of the topping onto 1 side of each rectangle. Using a pastry brush, brush the edges of the rectangle with egg wash. Close the rectangle of pizza dough over the topping. Use a fork to seal and crimp the edges. Place the calzones on the prepared baking sheet and brush the top of each with egg wash. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan. Bake until golden, 15 to 17 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the marinara sauce over low heat in a medium saucepan. Serve the hot calzones with the marinara sauce alongside for dipping.

- Add all the ingredients into a large bowl and mix well until combined. You can use a spoon, or gloved hands to mix.
- Cut each pita bread in half, and fill each pita pocket with about 1/4 cup of meat mixture. Cut each half into quarter ( I like using kitchen scissors for this). You can also peel open a pita bread to separate the two halves, spread the meat filling all over evenly, top with the other half then cut into quarters (see video under the nutritional facts to see what I mean).
- Place all stuffed pita quarters evenly spaced onto the baking sheet, and drizzle both sides with olive oil (you can brush the oil on if you want). I like to rub a little tomato paste on some of the outside of the pita breads, it gives a little color and flavor. Sprinkle salt onto the pita bread. Bake for 18-20 minutes, flipping over halfway through until both sides are crisp and golden brown.
