Pretty tasty - it reminded me of samosas. Instead of the paprika, salt, and pepper I just used berbere spice since I have a giant bag I've been trying to use up. The edges of mine got a bit burnt, next time I would check it after 10 min instead of leaving it in for the full 12. Served with za'atar crusted schnitzel and a mixed veggie.
Potato-Cilantro Tunisian Brik with Harissa
Tunisian brik is a savory pastry traditionally filled with tuna and egg. We fill this version with potato in a North African play on latkes. Prepare and refrigerate the Harissa up to two weeks in advance. The extra Harissa is nice with broiled fish or chicken.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 2 brik and 1 tablespoon harissa)
