Vegan Arayes

1: Combine onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, jalapeño, salt, coriander, cumin, turmeric, sumac, cardamom, and black pepper in a bowl until well mixed.

2: Cut each pita in half and open them up to create a pocket.

3: Stuff each pita with 1/3 cup of the 'meat' mixture and sprinkle with vegan cheese if using.

4: Sear each pita pocket on both sides in a cast iron skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds each side, making sure to seal the open side.

5: Bake stuffed pitas at 350°F for 10 minutes.
