Potato-Cilantro Tunisian Brik with Harissa
from the December 2008 "Cooking Light"
Tunisian brik is a savory pastry traditionally filled with tuna and egg. We fill this version with potato in a North African play on latkes. Prepare and refrigerate the Harissa up to two weeks in advance. The extra Harissa is nice with broiled fish or chicken.
* 1 cup chopped peeled baking potato
* 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
* 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
* 1/2 teaspoon hot paprika
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 16 wonton wrappers
* Cooking spray
* 1/2 cup Harissa
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Cook potato in boiling water 8 minutes or until tender; drain. Mash with a fork. Combine potato and next 6 ingredients (through pepper). Spoon about 2 teaspoons potato mixture into center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten edges of wrapper with water; bring 2 opposite corners together. Press edges together to seal, forming a triangle. Place brik on a large baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Lightly coat tops of brik with cooking spray.
3. Bake at 375° for 12 minutes or until golden. Serve with Harissa.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 2 brik and 1 tablespoon harissa).
