Description

These crispy pastries with chicken and potatoes are an absolute hit at any party! I have been making them for years and they are always a hit. The filling of tender chicken, creamy potatoes and spicy flavors is simply irresistible. The preparation is a bit more complex, but it is definitely worth it. They taste especially good when they come warm from the fryer. If you like it a little lighter, you can also bake them in the oven. A great recipe for a cozy evening with friends or as a snack in between.

About this recipe

These crispy chicken and potato bricks are a dish I discovered during a trip to Morocco a few years ago. I was fascinated by the diversity of flavors and textures of Moroccan cuisine, and I was particularly taken with these small fried bites, perfect for an appetizer or a light meal. I have adapted the recipe to my own way, using the Thermomix® to facilitate preparation and adjusting the spices to my preferences. The base of this dish is made up of brick leaves, thin and crispy, which provide a light and airy texture. The filling is a flavorful mixture of minced chicken, creamy potatoes, and fragrant spices. The chicken, preferably breast for its tenderness, is finely minced to blend harmoniously with the other ingredients. The potatoes, steamed to preserve their flavor, are mashed with processed cheese like Laughing Cow, which provides a subtle smoothness and sweetness. The onion, parsley, ginger and paprika enhance the taste of the whole, adding a touch of freshness, warmth and spice. For preparation with the Thermomix®, it is important to respect the times and speeds indicated to obtain an optimal texture of the ingredients. Mincing the chicken must be quick to avoid turning it into a paste. Steaming the potatoes in the Varoma helps preserve their flavor and prevents them from becoming waterlogged. The mashed potatoes should be smooth and homogeneous, but not too liquid. There are many possible variations for this dish. For a vegetarian or vegan version, you can replace the chicken with vegetables such as mushrooms, zucchini or carrots. You can also add spices like cumin, coriander or turmeric to vary the flavors. For a lighter version, you can bake the bricks in the oven rather than fry them. These chicken and potato bricks are delicious served hot, accompanied by a green salad or a yogurt and herb sauce. They can also be prepared in advance and frozen, then fried or baked in the oven when serving. For optimal preservation, it is best to freeze them raw rather than cooked. You can also prepare the filling in advance and keep it in the refrigerator for a few days.
