You can make these cigars with any kind of ground meat, including vegetarian crumbles (no one will believe they are vegetarian). Something about the combo of spices covers up anything else and make the perfect filling. All you need to do is wrap, roll and bake or fry.

where can I find kosher wonton/egg roll wrappers? would love to do this with my religious school class. thanks
In the US you can find them at most supermarkets.
I also used egg roll wraps but only because I couldn’t get Wonton Wraps. This was really tasty to eat and a simple recipe to make. Would make again.
Forgot to say I also made the spinach and feta cigars and the mushroom and gruyere cigars. So you could say ut was a cigar night.
Made this for supper. I decided to use egg roll wraps because I was to lazy to make so many.I also baked them. This will be a keeper.
These look like fun. We need to try them and will bake them.
ive made these both baked & lightly fried. personally i love it fried. adore the middle eastern taste that the cinnamon & ginger give. i sometimes also add some ground cloves as well. i make a pareve dipping sauce using tofutti sour cream & garlic & lemon juice.
Thank You for the veggie recipes.
