Instructions

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
Cut the sheets of brik in half. They are usually sold in round shapes but the briks I used in the photos are square.
Place some of the filling on one side. Fold the brik over several times to form a triangular shape.
Deep fry 3 to 4 briks at a time until briks are golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Serve with lemon or even harissa.
