Moroccan Cigars – Meat filled crispy wrappers
A group of Youtubers got together and decided to put together a stellar roundup of dad friendly recipes for Father’s Day. Last year we put on a spectacular competition for Father’s day and pitted Father against Father in a friendly cooking competition. Each Father teamed up with their kid and made something edible for the judges using pre selected ingredients. You can watch that video here.
This year 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 a 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.
