The fricasse (Arabic: فريكسي or فريكاسي), (Hebrew: פריקסה) is a savory fried pastry often filled with tuna, hard boiled egg, olives, harissa, preserved lemons, capers and mashed potato condimented with turmeric usually purchased from a traditional Tunisian or Libyan food vendor. It can be made at home or in fast food restaurants.

Many Jewish families who fled Tunisia or Libya to Israel or other countries still have this food as a family recipe, and it is therefore a relatively common Street food in Israel.
