Instructions
- Sauté the sliced onion in olive oil for 4 minutes, then add the minced meat and brown it, breaking it up.
- Add the tomato paste, cumin, salt, pepper and parsley, then cook for 5 minutes so the filling is dry and well seasoned. Let it cool.
- Lay a sheet of brick pastry on the work surface and place a spoonful of filling in the centre, then make a small well and carefully crack an egg into it.
- Fold the sheet into a triangle or half-moon, sealing the edges with a little water, taking care to keep the yolk whole.
- Heat a generous amount of oil to 170 °C in a deep pan and drop the briks in one at a time for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden.
- Drain on kitchen paper and serve straight away with lemon wedges.
Variations and tips
Tuna version. Replace the meat with 200 g of drained canned tuna, mashed, with a little parsley and chili.
