How to make Brik
- In a mixing bowl, combine 200 g of tuna, 50 g of capers, 30 g of chopped parsley, 1 tsp of salt, and 1/1 tsp of pepper. Stir until well blended.
- Prepare a brik pastry by laying it flat on a clean surface.
- Take a spoonful of the tuna mixture and place it in the center of the pastry, being careful not to overfill it.
- Carefully crack 1 egg over the filling on each pastry, so the yolk remains intact.
- Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle shape with a tight seal.
- Heat 100 ml of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
- Fry the brik in the hot oil for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove them from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
