Brick Tunisien

On Sunday we cooked home and I always wanted to see how easy they make Brick - their national starter.

After learning from the neighbours , my mother made them for us and here is the receipt.

6 Small Brick Pastry

2 small potatos

1/2 onion

1/2 can of tuna

6 eggs

Salt and pepper

Small bunch of parsley

First fold the edges of the brick pastry making a square and then fold in triangles.

Put a weight over so they keep their shape.

In a pan place the potatoes and the onions in slices. Add water to cover, salt and let it cook slowly until the potatoes are mashed. If need add a little more water.

Remove to a plate and add the chopped parsley.

Put the vegetable oil on a frying pan and let it warm over medium heat.

Start building the brick on a plate or very smooth surface:

Open the triangle

Put a small spoon of the potato mash in each side.

Add small spoon of tuna on top.

Holding the corner with one hand, break the egg inside

Fold it back and slide it to the warm oil pressing the closing corner with a wood fork so it stays still and do not open.

Turn it to the other side and remove.

This is a very quick process as you want to egg yoke to be soft.

Place it on absorvant paper and eat warm.

Bon apetit
