Today we&#8217;d like to introduce you to a recipe from North Africa: egg bricks. This dish comes from the Berbers, a nomadic people who once used brick pastry to cook food quickly on their travels. This dish then spread throughout the Maghreb, varying slightly from one country to another.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It&#8217;s an easy recipe to make, with several variations. They can be cooked in oil, but some people prefer to bake them in the oven, as it&#8217;s a little less greasy. For the first time, fry them as we do, in oil.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bourek annabi, also known as brika, is an Algerian specialty from the town of Annaba. This is a savory starter made with brik leaf, stuffed with mashed potatoes and a mixture of minced meat, onions, cheese and parsley. It is easily recognizable by its square fold and thicker texture. For my part, I always make them without meat and like to add egg, tuna and capers, but also with 3 cheeses (I&#8217;m not French for nothing). You won&#8217;t find this recipe in North Africa, but for those with a sweet tooth, it&#8217;s a great aperitif.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#x2716;&#xfe0f; Preparation time | <\/strong>30 minutes<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#x2716;&#xfe0f; Cooking time |<\/strong> 10 minutes<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#x2716;&#xfe0f; <strong>Quantities<\/strong>: 2 persons<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-35854\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ustensiles-recettes-blog-mademoiselle-voyage-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"64\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ustensiles-recettes-blog-mademoiselle-voyage-300x288.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ustensiles-recettes-blog-mademoiselle-voyage.png 302w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 64px) 100vw, 64px\" \/>USTENSILS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>1 large frying pan<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-35855 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ingredients-recettes-blog-mademoiselle-voyage.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"64\" height=\"52\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ingredients-recettes-blog-mademoiselle-voyage.png 320w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ingredients-recettes-blog-mademoiselle-voyage-300x246.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 64px) 100vw, 64px\" \/>INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>8 sheets of brick pastry<\/li>\n<li>2 large boiled potatoes<\/li>\n<li>4 eggs<\/li>\n<li>1 large onion<\/li>\n<li>8 cases chopped flat-leaf parsley<\/li>\n<li>Salt &amp; Pepper<\/li>\n<li>Frying oil<\/li>\n<li>1 Yellow lemon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-35856\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/preparation-recettes-blog-mademoiselle-voyage.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"64\" height=\"53\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/preparation-recettes-blog-mademoiselle-voyage.png 324w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/preparation-recettes-blog-mademoiselle-voyage-300x250.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 64px) 100vw, 64px\" \/>PREPARATION<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Slice the potatoes and onion into rings.<\/li>\n<li>Prepare your parsley ready to serve<\/li>\n<li>Heat your frying pan gently with a little frying oil (the brigs still need to cook).<\/li>\n<li>On a work surface, place 2 sheets of brick pastry one on top of the other and place 1\/2 potato in the center.<\/li>\n<li>Add 1\/4 of the onion, season with salt and pepper, and 2 tablespoons of parsley.<\/li>\n<li>Close your brick pastry in a half-moon shape and moisten the edges so that they stick together.<\/li>\n<li>Repeat the operation to obtain 4 bricks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brick baking<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Dip the bricks one by one into the frying pan, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.<\/li>\n<li>At the end of cooking, blot the bricks on kitchen paper to remove excess oil.
