About this deal
The packages of stuff we use say "Feuille de Brick" and the product is very much like a stiff crepe. It can be used as an alternative to filo pastry to make samosas and other light pastry parcels whether sweet or savoury. I thought that by using Brick instead, it would make a lovely shell for a filling and the whole thing would then be lighter and marvellously crunchy.
Back to the brick, briq, brique, etc It isn't phyllo, but phyllo can be substituted IN MANY RECIPES. At the restaurant where I was doing a stage we would make saffron butter, paint it on feiulles de brick, and wrap it around shrimp, then sautee. It is a ready made pastry, sold in circular sheets, similar to Filo pastry but a good deal easier to work with and my new favourite ingredient! Braewat is a Moroccan form of brik in which is prepped the same way but usually used with french pastry dough (puff pastry) and is baked rather than fried. Baked in the oven, brushed with Sesame oil, you would be hard pressed to know that they were not deep fried as they achieve the same level of crispness as a conventional spring roll.They were a huge success and I was completely sold on Brick as I had found it to be so simple to use, making the perfect finger food.
