One of the most well-known traditional Tunisian recipes are the briks. There are many varieties of the briks depending on the pastry or the stuffing. I suggest “Brik Danouni”; beef-stuffed turnovers, oven-baked or fried, are usually presented as starters or appetizers.

RECIPE

Mix well the semolina, the flour and salt with the melted butter.
Add warm water progressively and knead for 5 minutes.
When the dough becomes smooth, cover and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
In the meanwhile, cook the ground beef with the chopped onions with a table spoon of vegetable oil then add the rest of the stuffing ingredients and keep aside.
Roll out the dough and form circles.
Garnish the circles with the stuffing and fold the edges.
Place the briks on a parchment paper and brush with vegetable oil.
Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C for 30 minutes.
