Moroccan Cigar
This year for Father’s Day, I decided to make something I know my father and my children’s father would love – a spiced ground meat filling inside a crispy wrapper, The Moroccan cigar. This is fairly simple to make and looks extra authentic when I use an icing bag and tip to pipe the filling to give it a cylindrical shape. These are best fried but you could brush it with oil and bake it.
Ingredients
2 lbs ground meat
Salt & pepper to taste
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp paprika powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp pomegranate molasses
1/4 cup chopped Parsley
3 tbsps chopped mint
3 – 4 Spring onions
3 cloves garlic crushed
1 egg
20 – 25, 8 x 8 Spring Roll wrappers
1 extra beaten egg
Process
Mix all the ingredients together and add to a processor and process till a smooth paste
Add to a piping bag
Separate the Spring roll sheets and brush with egg wash
Pipe the filling in a straight line roll over the wrapper and fold them inwards and roll like a cigar
Add more egg at the end and seal
Fry in hot oil
