Bourek Bel Hout

Fish filled pastries.

Ingredients:
½lb white fish
1 clove of garlic crushed
½ onion finely chopped
4 tbsp chopped parsley
Juice of ½ lemon
1tbsp fresh breadcrumbs
1boiled potato crushed
1 egg
Pinch of chilli, coriander, cumin
Salt and pepper

Pack of Fillo or Spring Roll pastry

Method:
Microwave the fish for 2 minutes or poach for 5 minutes and then flake it into a large bowl.
Remove skin and bones. Cool down. (A glass of white wine ought to do it!)
Add all the ingredients to the bowl, mix well and season.
Lay one fillo pastry sheet (25cm by 10cm) flat on a damp cloth and place a tbsp of fish mixture on the top corner.
Fold diagonally three times to create a triangle.
Shallow fry or bake to heat up thoroughly and lightly brown.

You can add tiny bits of other vegetables or seafood to the mix depending on your taste.

Serve with a dressed salad and a wedge of lemon.

It is something to do with how it is stored before you buy it actually. It may have been defrosted and frozen again and that is why it sticks together.
It is very hard to check the packet. Just make sure you get it from a reputable shop.

oh yumm. This sounds like something I'd never do. So I guess I'd better plan to do it! With a salad, perhaps...
