Description:
Tunisian cuisine: Brik is a kind of Tunisian
cuisine and a main dish in the month of Ramadan. Widespread in Algeria, it is
made of a thin film that surrounds a filling. The most famous species is the
egg break, where an entire egg is crammed into a triangular paste with chopped
onions, tuna, puree, capers, and parsley. Other types of brick include tuna
bric, meat, chicken with fried eggs and harissa.
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
malsouka
(or lumpia or egg roll wrappers)
eggs (one
for each brik you wish to make)
Vegetable
oil
1 bunch
parsley chopped
one bunch
green onions or 1 medium white onion chopped
1-2 tbs
Parmesan cheese
1-2 cans tuna
drained well
pinch of
salt and black pepper
Optional
fillings:
1-2 large
russet potatoes, boiled and mashed
Capers
How to prepare:
1-Separate and fold the malsouka (or lumpia wrappers) into triangle
shapes. Since these are round, the easiest way is to fold in 4 edges to make
somewhat of a square, then fold one corner of the square across to the opposite
one to create a triangle. Set these
aside and keep covered well until ready to use so they don't dry out.
2-In a bowl mix together all the other ingredients .
3-In a plate, place your square wrapper, and line two of the edges with
the parsley/tuna mixture making sure they connect. This will serve as a border
to keep the egg in place. Sprinkle the center of the wrapper with a little salt
and pepper and carefully crack your egg right on top of the salt and pepper.
Fold over the top of the wrapper and using the plate, gently slide it into the
oil. Use a spoon to gently press the brik closed and to spoon some of the hot
oil onto the side not submerged into the oil. While it cooks on one side, you
can make a second brik and cook them at the same time.
4-Let the brik fry for about 2-3 minutes or until a nice golden brown
before flipping to the other side and repeat.
5-Remove the brik and place on a paper towel lined plate and continue
frying as many briks as you wish to make.
6-When finished, place on a serving dish and
garnish with lemon or lime wedges (to squeeze over) and serve immediately.
Enjoy!
