Fricasse
A fricasse (Arabic: فريكسي or فريكاسي) is a savory fried pastry often filled with tuna, hard-boiled egg, olives, harissa, preserved lemons, capers and mashed potato, with turmeric as a condiment.[1][2] They are usually purchased from traditional Tunisian food vendors.They can be made at home or in fast food restaurants.[3] Oral history claims that the recipe originates in 19th century Tunisia.Many Jewish families who emigrated from Tunisia or Tunisian-influenced regions such as Tripolitania or eastern Algeria (former Ifriqiya) to Israel still have this food as a family recipe, and it is therefore a relatively common street food in Israel.
