75g flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
2 eggs, well beaten

Massems
(Little Fingers) Preparation:


Method:

Combine the eggs, chicken, parsley, harissa and cheese in a bowl. Season with salt and black pepper and mix thoroughly to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Divide the spring roll wrappers in half and use the egg mixture to stuff them. Moisten the edges of the wrappers with water then fold over and seal.

Add a 3cm depth of oil to a pan and when hot add the stuffed pastries a few at a time, cooking until golden brown and turning as necessary. Drain on kitchen paper and serve hot, garnished with lemon wedges and accompanied by table harissa sauce for dipping.
