About the dish
Brik is a Tunisian snack of very thin malsouka pastry wrapped around a filling and deep-fried. The best-known version holds tuna, capers, parsley, onion and a whole raw egg, which sets on the outside during the brief frying while staying runny inside. It is eaten with the hands, carefully, so the yolk doesn't escape. During Ramadan brik usually opens the evening meal; there are also versions with potato, minced meat or prawns.
