Briouates au Viande

Briouates au Viande are Moroccan savory pastries filled with spiced ground meat, perfect for a BBQ feast. These crispy, golden bites are a delightful blend of textures and flavors, making them a favorite appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

• Ground beef - 250 grams
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Ground cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Wonton wrappers - 10 sheets
• Egg - 1, beaten (for sealing)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons (for brushing)
• Lemon - 1, cut into wedges (for serving)

Steps

1. In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the chopped parsley, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
3. Take a wonton wrapper and place a tablespoon of the meat filling in the center. Brush the edges with beaten egg and fold the wrapper to form a triangle, pressing to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
4. Preheat your BBQ grill or oven to 200°C (400°F).
5. Brush both sides of the briouates with olive oil and place them on the grill or a baking sheet if using the oven.
6. Grill or bake for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
7. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.
