Directions
Moroccan Tuna Briouats (Stuffed Pastries), These pastry triangles are filled with sweet or savory fillings & deep-fried, traditionally (or the may be baked in the oven) This version is made with tuna & is my husband’s favorite , This was a completely delicious lunch I did make some changes, to make use of what I had on hand I still had some pie crust dough left, so used that instead of the wrappers I cut it into four sections, and mounded the filling in the middle, brought the points together to the top and then sealed the sides I baked these for maybe 35 minutes in a 375 deg oven I had enough filling left over to make two more, but used it for a sandwich, with a little plain yogurt added to help it hold together The filling itself was very good, although I think I might cut down the cumin just a touch or add a touch more harissa next time I also thought it looked a little dry, so used about 1 tbl of olive oil My tuna was quite dry, very little water in the can These would make a lovely hot appetizer
