Gently lower each

at a time.
When the brik has

Remove the fried
briks and place
them in the dish
so the kitchen roll
can absorb the
excess oil.
Place each brik
on a plate, garnish
them with a wedge
of lemon and some
flatleaf parsley
and they're ready
to serve!
The first step is to prepare the ingredients.
You'll need a chopping board and a kitchen knife.
First, peel the onion.
Finely chop the peeled onion.
Next, cut off the stalks of the small bell
peppers and then deseed them.
Finely chop the deseeded peppers.
Next, peel the garlic.
Finely chop the peeled garlic.
Peel the potatoes.
Dice the peeled potatoes into 1cm cubes.
The next step is to boil the potatoes.
You'll need a saucepan and a strainer or colander.
Put the potatoes in the pan and add water before
place it over the heat and boiling the potatoes for
around 6 minutes.
Drain off the water from the boiled potatoes
using the strainer or colander.
It's now time to prepare the flour and water paste.
You'll need a small bowl for this.
Put the flour and water in the dish and
mix them together well.
The next step is to make the filling for the briks.
You'll need a frying pan.
Heat some oil in the frying pan over a moderate heat.
Add the onions, garlic, and salt and fry
them until they are soft.
Add the mince meat and stir to break up the mince.
Fry it until the mince is browned.
Once the pork mince has been broken up, add
the peppers, stirring them while they fry.
Add the potatoes and fry until their surface is transparent.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the mince
and vegetables and then turn off the heat.
Divide it into the number of portions you
require and allow it to cool.
Now it's time to make the briks by wrapping them
around the filling one by one. You'll need a pastry
brush and some small bowls for this.
First, break each egg into a separate small bowl.
Spread plenty of the flour and water paste
along the edges of each sheet of pastry with
the pastry brush.
Put one portion of the filling you just
prepared onto each sheet of pastry and
spread it out as far as the flour and
water mix at the edges.
Next, make a well in the centre of the filling.
Carefully, put an egg in the well.
To make a brik, hold both sides of the sheet of pastry
and then fold and bring both sides together to make a
half-moon shape. If the flour and water paste dries out,
the brik won't hold together, so apply more of the paste
as required.
Firmly press the edges together so the paste acts as
an adhesive, holding the brik together. Repeat for the
number of briks you want to make.
The next step is to deep-fry the briks.
You'll need a pan for deep-frying, a dish
and some kitchen roll.
First, lay sheets of kitchen roll in
the dish.
Add enough cooking oil suitable for deep-frying
to the pan to fully cover the brik and heat it to
160‰.
Deep-fry the briks one at a time, gently
lowering them into the cooking oil.
When the brik has started to become firm,
turn it over in the pan and fry for about
2 minutes until the egg is partially set.
Remove each fried brik from the pan
and place them in the dish so the
kitchen roll can absorb the excess oil.
Place each brik on a plate, garnish
them with a wedge of lemon and some
flatleaf parsley and they're ready
to serve. Enjoy!

The American recipe appears to be the same as the European one. However, the American recipe has different unrecognizable text.
