Tuna and Egg Brik

"Brik (pronounced "breek") are a staple of North African cuisine. This recipe was adapted from Gourmet magazine--theirs was WAY too complicated, as it involved dropping a whole egg into a well made of tuna, then enfolding the whole shebang in an egg roll skin and trying to fry it without breaking the yolk. Impossible! The flavors of this dish mix very well, with the brightness of the capers and parsley blending with the richness of the tuna and egg, and traditional North African spices for extra depth. Plus, it's super easy to make!"

  • Tastes extra-delicious with a traditional North African dip, such as roasted red pepper.
