COURSE PREVIEW
ABOUT THE RECIPE
Briwats, also known as Briouat are a classic Moroccan savory pastry often served as an appetizer, especially during Ramadan.
The word "briwat" in Moroccan Arabic translates to "parcels." These little triangular pockets can be made with a variety of fillings such as chicken, fish, ground beef, vegetables or cheese. The filling is stuffed in "warqa" or pastilla sheets before being baked or fried to achieve the traditional crispy golden exterior.
"warqa," which means paper in Arabic, is a thin pastry made with flour and water. It is the Moroccan version of phyllo dough, but is, however, more moisture resistant than phyllo, and has a crispier texture when cooked.
In this course, the briwats are filled with chicken, spinach, cheese and preserved lemons. The result is an incredible savory filling that that makes for the perfect bite-sized appetizers.
