A briouat or briwat (Arabic: البروات) is a sweet or savory puff pastry. It is part of the Moroccan cuisine.[1][2][3] Briouats are filled with meat (mostly chicken or lamb) or fish and shrimp, mixed with cheese, lemon and pepper. They are wrapped in warqa (a paper-thin dough) in a triangular or cylindrical shape. Briouats can also be sweet, filled with almond or peanut paste and fried, then dipped in warm honey flavored with orange blossom water.
