Everyone loves Fritata, I wanted to recreate something that I had eaten in Tunisia that is similar to a Fritata but I love this better. You can mix the egg in with the ingredients and make small snack food parcels instead.

Ingredients

  1. 500 gramsgood mashing potatoes, peeled and cubed. ( sometimes I use leftover potatoes )
  2. 4 tbspolive oil
  3. 5 clovegarlic, very fine chopped
  4. 1 1/2 tbsppaprika powder
  5. 1/4 tspchilli flakes
  6. 4 tbspcannellini beans from can
  7. 4pieces of anchovy filets in olive oil (optional)
  8. 1/2 tspfresh cracked pepper
  9. 18 smallbest black olives chopped finely ( but you can use less if preferred ) or green olives
  10. 1good handful each of flat leafed parsley and coriander
  11. 1salt
  12. 6 mediumfresh range eggs
  13. 6sheets of filo pastry ( you can use two sheets per parcel if preferred)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Peel, chop and boil the potatoes until they are ready to mash roughly to smooth to preference. If you are using left over potatoes slightly warm them to mash them easier. Use just a tiny bit of water to mash them down , do not use milk or butter .

  2. 2

    Heat the oil and add all ingredients except the eggs, the beans and anchovy.

  3. 3

    When the garlic has very slightly browned pour into the potatoes mash with the beans and olives. Mix together well.

  4. 4

    Now take your filo sheet or two if using,( no need to butter if either using one or two ) lay out flat on worktop. Fill in the middle with the potato mash

  5. 5

    Make a deep well out of each potato pile. Working fast but thoroughly as filo pastry dries very quickly

  6. 6

    Add an egg into the well. Fold over the long sides as if to make a parcel. Fold the ends underneath.

  7. 7

    In a heated pan fry for two minutes from two sides. Browning them well drain on kitchen towel and cook remaining parcels

  8. 8

    Do not overcook as the egg yolk should be still soft but the white cooked.
