Briouats

Ingredients

Butter

1/2 cup, melted

Phyllo dough

12 sheets

Salt

1 teaspoon

Pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon

Ground cumin

1 teaspoon

Fresh cilantro

1/4 cup, chopped

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Onion

1 medium, finely chopped

Ground beef

1 lb

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic, stirring occasionally until the beef is thoroughly browned and the onion is tender.
2. Add the chopped cilantro, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Mix well, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat mixture. Remove skillet from heat and allow the mixture to cool.
3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
4. Cut the phyllo dough into 3-inch wide strips. Keep the unused phyllo covered with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.
5. Take one strip of phyllo dough, brush it generously with melted butter. Spoon a small amount of the cooled meat mixture onto the end of the strip.
6. Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding, maintaining the triangle shape, until you reach the end of the strip. Repeat this process with the remaining dough and filling.
7. Place the filled briouats on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with additional melted butter for a golden, crispy finish.
8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the briouats are golden brown and crispy. Let them cool slightly before serving to ensure the filling is not too hot.
