Briouat au Thon

Briouat au Thon is a delightful Moroccan pastry filled with a savory tuna mixture, wrapped in a crispy exterior. Perfect for brunch, these bite-sized treats are both satisfying and easy to make.

Ingredients

• Canned tuna (in olive oil) - 150 grams
• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - for frying

Steps

1. In a pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until translucent.
2. In a bowl, combine the canned tuna (drained), cooked onion, parsley, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Add the almond flour and egg to the mixture and combine until a thick filling forms.
4. Lay out a square of parchment paper or use a clean surface, and divide the filling into small portions (about 2 tablespoons each).
5. Take a square of parchment paper and place a portion of filling in the center. Fold the paper over to create a triangle shape, pressing the edges to seal. Repeat until all filling is used.
6. Heat enough olive oil in a pan to shallow fry the briouats over medium heat.
7. Fry the briouats for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
