Burika (Tunisian Stuffed Filo Pastry)

1 Piece

Ingredients

For the Filo

w

150 ml water

f

100 gr flour

s

5 gr salt

For the Burika

o

1 tbsp of canned tuna

o

1 tbsp of harissa

f

1 free range egg

l

9 leaves of cilantro

o

pinch of salt

c

canola oil

Directions

For the Filo

1

In a bowl add the water, salt, and flour and mix well until you get a consistency of a very diluted tahini/pancake batter.

w

150 ml water

s

5 gr salt

f

100 gr flour

2

Cover with a towel and let it sit for 30 min.

3

Heat up a pan on medium heat for about 3-4 min.

4

Brush the pan with the batter, 5 layers to be exact.

5

After the top of the filo sheet gets dry, use a spatula to remove it from the pan. Place on a plate and layer all the filo sheets on top of each other until you finish all the batter.

For the Burika

1

Now it's time to build the Burika. In the meantime, heat up a small pot full of canola oil.

c

canola oil

2

In a small bowl, place the filo sheet.

3

Add the tuna, harissa, cilantro, crack the egg in and add some salt on top.

o

1 tbsp of canned tuna

o

1 tbsp of harissa

l

9 leaves of cilantro

f

1 free range egg

o

pinch of salt

4

Close the filo sheet in half to a half-circle shape. If for some reason the filo sheet tears apart you can definitely do it with two sheets for one burika.

5

Bring the bowl with the burika close to the pot with the oil. Drop the burika in the oil and deep fry for 2 min, until it gets a nice color. Pay attention that if you will deep fry it longer than that the egg yolk won't be runny (up to you gingies).

6

Break the burika over a salad and enjoy this absolutely insanely delicious bite!
