Como fazer Algerian Chicken Preserved Lemon Bourek

Prepare the dough (using your preferred bourek dough recipe or store-bought).
In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground chicken, 1/2 cup chopped fresh coriander, 1 tablespoon grated preserved lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Roll out the dough thinly. Cut into squares or circles, approximately 4-5 inches in size.
Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each dough piece.
Fold the dough to create a half-moon or triangle shape, crimping the edges to seal.
Heat about 1 inch of vegetable or sunflower oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the bourek in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve hot and enjoy! These are fantastic served with a side of harissa paste or yogurt sauce.
