Breeka ( Tunisian )

A Tunisian Appetizer * I believe *, I have learned it from my lovely Tunisian friends..
The idea is simple : have a spring roll sheet ready and mainly stuff it with potatoes ( either boiled,fried,baked ) , eggs ( cooked or raw or both ) , cooked shrimp , tuna , parsley or cilantro and litlle spices to taste..plus cream cheese or shredded ( optional )
mostly when I have some leftover  cooked potatoes I make with it some BREEKA :)
The traditional shape is making a triangle, but you can do rolls too if you like , BREEK CIGARS ;)

Ingredients:

1. spring roll sheets ( thawed )
2. fried cubes of potato or boiled ( seasoned with little salt and pepper )
3. about 1/3 cup of chopped parsley or clinatro
4. half a can of tuna
5. few cooked shrimp ( optional )
6. eggs ( raw and boiled or just raw ) ( depending on your quantity , crack each egg at time and mix because you dont want the mixture to be too runny!! )
7. salt,black pepper,cumin,drops of lemon juice and hot chilli sauce to taste.

Method:

1. mix all the ingredients above in a bowel and as I mentioned above crack the eggs one at a time until the ingredients are well sticky together but yet not runny mixture!!
2. another way to do it is cracking only one egg on top of the mixture above in each triangle sheet of spring roll and seal the edges with water.
3. fry the triangles or rolls until golden brown..
4. Serve with a lemon wedge on the side..Enjoy...
