Moroccan Beef Briouats

Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground Beef
• 10 sheets Warka Pastry Sheets (or Phyllo Dough)
• 0.5 medium Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Parsley
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil

Instructions

1. 1Heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat.
2. 2Add the 0.5 medium onion, cut into small pieces, and cook until it looks soft and see-through, about 5 minutes.
3. 3Add the 2 cloves of garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more until you can smell it, being careful not to let it burn.
4. 4Add the 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up into small pieces with a spoon, until it is no longer pink and is browned all over.
5. 5Stir in the 2 tablespoons of cilantro, 2 tablespoons of parsley, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoon of turmeric, and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until everything is fragrant.
6. 6Remove the skillet from the heat and let the beef mixture cool down for about 10 minutes so it's easier to handle.
7. 7Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
8. 8Carefully cut the 10 sheets of warka pastry sheets (or phyllo dough) into long strips, about 3 inches wide.
9. 9Place about 1 tablespoon of the cooled beef mixture at one end of each pastry strip.
10. 10Fold the pastry strip over the filling to create a triangle. Continue folding the strip back and forth, like folding a flag, to form a triangle shape, until you reach the end of the strip.
11. 11In a small bowl, lightly beat the 1 large egg. Brush the outside of each folded pastry with the beaten egg.
12. 12Place the prepared briouats on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and look crispy.
