Place a sheet of brik pastry on a clean surface.

Add a spoonful of tuna in the center of the pastry.

Crack an egg over the tuna, being careful not to break the yolk.

Sprinkle capers and parsley on top of the egg.

Fold the pastry over to create a triangle, sealing the edges with a bit of water.

Carefully lower the brik into hot oil.

Fry until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with a drizzle of lemon juice and harissa.
