Waiting for a cook
Morocco
Briouats are the small triangular (or cigar-shaped) pastries of Morocco, folded from thin warqa sheets around a filling and fried. The sweet almond briouat is the famous one: a paste of fried almonds, sugar, cinnamon and orange-blossom water wrapped in warqa, fried golden and dipped in hot honey, then scattered with sesame. They are made by the hundred for Ramadan, Eid and weddings and stacked on the tea tray beside kaab el ghazal. Savoury briouats, filled with spiced minced meat, chicken or cheese, are the starters of the same feasts.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 11 ingredients and 8 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
