Briouat – Starter
Ingredients – Serves 2:
- 1x minced chicken breast
- A handful of grated edam or cheddar
- 2 small courgettes
- 2 cloves garlic
- A pinch of saffron threads
- 30 grams sliced green olives 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1⁄2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- A small handful of chopped fresh parsley and coriander
- A few sheets of spring roll pastry

Method:
- Mince the garlic, and add to a large saucepan with a glug of olive oil. Warm over medium-high heat for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, stirring frequently.
- Grate the courgette and carrots and add in with the saffron and olives. Stir to combine. Add the spices and 30 millilitres of water. Cook for another 5 minutes over medium heat, then add the parsley and coriander. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Peel apart a layer of pastry dough and lay it out flat. Cut into large strips about 7 centimetres (2 1⁄2 inches) in width. Place a heaped spoonful of the chicken mixture and a bit of cheese on one end of the filo dough strip. Roll the briouate from right to left, then left to right, to create a triangularly shaped parcel. Beat the egg and brush over the briouate to seal it shut and then place on an unlined baking sheet. Shallow fry in a non-stick pan or bake at 200oC for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
