Stay Awake

1 In a bowl, combine the tuna with the ricotta and cottage cheese. Add the chopped parsley, lemon juice and spices and season with salt and pepper.

2 Cut the pastry sheets in half. If using brik pastry, fold the rounded edge over to the other edge to make a rectangle. If using filo pastry, brush with melted butter, if using. Place a dollop of tuna fi lling at the bottom of each half. Fold the pastry over diagonally to form a triangle, then continue folding the parcel in a triangle shape to the end.

3 Brush with oil or beaten egg and cook in the air fryer basket for 10 minutes at 180°C. Serve with lemon wedges.
