Moroccan Seafood Bastilla & Seafood Briouates Workshop by Native Moroccan Instructors Safia & Houda
Morocco is located in northwestern Africa. Morocco overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and Spain to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the west.
Moroccan cuisine is influenced by Morocco’s interactions and exchanges with other cultures and nations over the centuries.
Moroccan cuisine is usually a mix of Amazigh (Berber), Arab, Andalusian (Spain), and Mediterranean cuisines, with slight European (French and Spanish) and sub-Saharan influences.
1) Moroccan Seafood Bastilla / B’Stilla (Seafood Pie)(Calamari, White Fish, Prawns, Scallops, Bean Vermicelli)
Seafood Bastilla is a savory Moroccan pie. Shrimp, Calamari and Fish are tossed with a zesty Chinese vermicelli filling and wrapped within Moroccan pastry sheets called warqa. Once baked, the combination of crispy, paper-thin pastry and flavorful seafood stuffing is a true delight.
2) Seafood Briouates
Briouats are small Moroccan savory pastries that are stuffed with a variety of fillings and then deep-fried. It is like the Indian samosa. These finger foods are good to fill the stomach during iftar. In the Moroccan version, a crisp, paper-thin Moroccan pastry called warqa is used. Phyllo (Filo) dough or spring roll wrappers can be substituted for the warqa.
