Method

  1. 1

    In a bowl, mix the tuna, onion, capers, parsley and harissa.

  2. 2

    Lay the filo sheets stacked together, spoon the tuna mixture into the centre and make a small well.

  3. 3

    Crack the egg into the well, then fold the pastry over into a semi-circle, sealing the edges with a little water and keeping the egg intact.

  4. 4

    Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the brik for 2 minutes each side until golden and crisp, with the egg still soft inside.

  5. 5

    Season to taste, then drain briefly on kitchen paper and serve with the lemon wedge.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 25 g parsley and ¾ lemon. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
