Brik [0000941]

Ingredients:

4 gluten-free spring roll wrappers or rice paper sheets
4 large eggs
1/2 cup canned tuna, drained and flaked (make sure it's gluten-free)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, combine the flaked tuna, chopped fresh parsley, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the filling.

In a separate bowl, crack one large egg and beat it.

Take a gluten-free spring roll wrapper or rice paper sheet and gently dip it into a bowl of warm water for about 5 seconds to soften it. Remove it from the water and place it on a clean work surface.

Place a spoonful of the tuna filling in the center of the wrapper.

Carefully fold one side of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly, similar to rolling a burrito.

Seal the edge of the wrapper with a little beaten egg, pressing it gently to secure the brik.

Repeat the process for the remaining wrappers and filling.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat.

Carefully place the briks into the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Turn them occasionally for even cooking.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the briks from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Serve your gluten-free Brik appetizers hot, with lemon wedges for drizzling, if desired.

Brik is a popular Tunisian street food consisting of a crispy pastry filled with a savory mixture, often including tuna and egg. This gluten-free version offers the same delicious flavors in a crispy shell. Enjoy it as a delightful appetizer!
