One of the best Tunisian dishes comes in the form of a crispy, delicious brik. What is this brik? It is a thin pastry, wrapped around a filling, and usually deep-fried. Fillings usually consist of tuna, meat, egg, and cheese. We've made ours with tuna, and we've flavored it with onion, parsley, and some Gouda!
