Crackin' crab briks

Crackin' crab briks -

These North African-style crab briks are great in taste.

Ingredients:

1-2 preserved lemons
2 spring onions
½ a bunch of fresh coriander
400 g pot-caught crab meat (a mixture of brown & white meat), from sustainable sources
2 teaspoons harissa, plus extra to serve
4 large sheets of filo pastry (from a 270 g pack)
olive oil

Directions:

Finely chop the preserved lemons, trimmed spring onions and coriander (stalks and all).
Mix in a bowl with the crab meat and harissa.
Lay out a sheet of filo pastry, add ¼ of the mixture and shape into the size of a packet of playing cards at the center of the bottom of the sheet, then push your thumb into the center of the filling to make a space for it to expand as it cooks.
Fold in the sides, then fold them up.
Repeat until you have 4 briks.
Put 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the pan, then add the briks and cook until golden and crisp on both sides.
Add the caraway seeds to the side of the pan and toast for a minute, then serve it hot.
