📝 Ingredients:
Serves 4
- 🥟 Brik pastry sheets – 4
- 🦀 Canned crab (drained) – 120g (4 oz)
- 🍅 Large tomato – 1
- 🥄 Capers – 1 tablespoon
- 🌿 Fresh cilantro – 12 sprigs, chopped
- 🥄 Olive oil – 2 tablespoons
- 🧂 Salt – To taste
- ⚫ Black pepper – To taste
📋 Directions:
- 🍅 Prepare the tomato: Blanch the tomato in boiling water for 20 seconds. Remove the skin, deseed it, and dice the flesh. Sprinkle with salt and let it sit for 10 minutes to release excess moisture.
- 🦀 Prepare the filling: Drain the canned crab thoroughly. In a bowl, combine the crab, diced tomato (drained), capers, and chopped cilantro. Season with pepper and mix well.
- 🥟 Assemble the briks: Place a portion of the crab mixture in the center of each brik sheet, forming an 8 cm (3-inch) square. Fold the edges of the pastry tightly to form neat squares.
- 🔥 Cook the briks: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over moderate heat. Cook the briks for 2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- 🥗 Serve: Enjoy the briks hot, paired with a green salad dressed with lemon juice and olive oil for a perfect balance of flavors.
