Method

1. Finely chop the onion and parsley. Flake the tuna and mix it with the onion, parsley, capers, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat the oil in a deep pan until hot but not smoking.
3. Lay a malsouqa sheet flat, place a spoonful of the tuna mixture slightly off center, and break one egg on top without breaking the yolk.
4. Fold the sheet into a triangle or half-moon and seal the edges with a little water so the egg cannot leak.
5. Slide the brik into the hot oil and fry for 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden and crisp, keeping the yolk soft.
6. Drain briefly on paper and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
