Vegan Meat Moroccan Cigars Gluten-Free

2021-10-13

Jump To Recipe Print Recipe

When I started the series of Moroccan recipes like Meatballs in Lemon and Olive Sauce, Vegan Kebab With Pistachio, and the spice mixture Ras El Hanut, I thought it could not be complete without a vegan recipe for Moroccan cigars!

And since rice paper is similar to cigar leaves, then why not make it Gluten-Free too?

I rolled up my sleeves, mixed vegan minced meat and mushrooms, added some goodies like pine nuts and pistachios, and of course Ras al-Hanut, the fingerprint of North African cuisine.

I brushed the cigars with “egg” for color and flavor, a mixture that looks and acts like an actual egg, then sprinkled sesame and black cumin on top. Unlike the traditional recipe in which the cigars are deep-fried, I baked them.

I got crispy cigars that were gone in the blink of an eye (you may want to double the amount in advance 🙂
These vegan and gluten-free meat cigars are suitable as an appetizer, part of a buffet, or snack. Serve with tahini, salads, or any dip you desire.

Enjoy and let me know how it turned out ❣️

Vegan Meat Moroccan Cigars Gluten Free
Rice paper replaces traditional cigar crepes, stuffed with a delicious filling of vegan meat and mushrooms, rolled into cigars, brushed with "egg," and baked in the oven. Our cigars are similar to the original version in taste and texture but are gluten-free and healthier.
