Brik (Tunisian Fried Fish Triangles)


  • 6 oz canned tuna, drained
  • 2 Tbs parsley, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 4 malsouka or egg/spring roll wrappers
  • 4 eggs
  • olive oil
  • lemon
  • harissa, or other hot chili sauce
Saute the onion over medium heat with a tiny bit of oil.

Combine the tuna, parsley, and parmesan with salt and pepper to taste. Add sauteed onion. Divide mix into 4 equal parts.

Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a small pot or pan big enough for at least one of the triangles.

Add the mixture to the center of each wrapper. Make a small well in the mixture, then break an egg into each well. Close the wrappers into a triangular shape, sealing with a little bit of water along the edges if necessary.

Fry each triangle until golden brown on both sides, flipping half way through.

Drain and plan on a paper-towel lined plate. Drizzle with lemon juice and serve hot.
