Brick recipe / Algerian Cuisine/ North African cuisine

Preheat oil in a deep pan over medium heat.

Sauté chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add ground beef to the pan and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic, parsley, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper; cook for 2-3 minutes.

Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.

In a bowl, combine the meat mixture with beaten eggs and cheese.

Lay out a sheet of brick pastry on a clean surface.

Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of the pastry.

Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle, sealing the edges.

Repeat with remaining pastry and filling.

Carefully place the filled bricks into the hot oil.

Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
