Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, prepare the filling: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the chicken and sauté until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the ras el hanout, turmeric, salt and pepper to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and set aside to cool.
• Once the water comes to a boil, add the potatoes and cook until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer potatoes to another bowl to cool. Let the water continue to boil.
• Prepare the hard-boiled egg: Add 1 egg to the boiling water, reduce the heat to medium and let it cook for 10 minutes. Remove the hard-boiled egg from the water and let cool. Peel the egg and chop it into small pieces.
• To the chicken mixture in the large bowl, add the cooled potatoes, chopped egg, mozzarella, parsley and the remaining 1 uncooked egg. Stir to combine the filling.
• Prepare the rolls: Working with one at a time, place one spring roll wrapper on a flat surface. Add a scant 1/4 cup of the chicken filling in the wrapper in one corner, arranging the filling a 4- to 5-inch log. Starting from the same corner, roll the wrapper twice around the filling. Fold in the sides and continue rolling toward the furthest corner. Brush egg wash on the last corner to seal, then roll until the parcel is fully sealed and forms a tight cylinder.
• Add the vegetable oil to a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high until the oil reaches about 350 degrees. Working in batches, add about 3 rolls to the oil and cook, rotating frequently until golden brown and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. (If you prefer to avoid deep frying, you can bake the rolls on a rack-lined sheet pan at 375 degrees until golden brown, about 25 minutes, turning them halfway through.) Place cooked rolls on a paper towel for a few minutes to absorb oil before transferring to a serving platter. Serve warm with fresh lemon wedges to squeeze on top.

Steps:

• Put the prawns in a bowl with the cilantro, lemon, capers, spice, salt & harissa. Add the ricotta & mix together using your hands or a wooden spoon.
• Mix in the egg & the black pepper.
• Take a sheet of phyllo pastry, fold in half to strengthen. Place a line of filling in the middle of the sheet, then roll up tightly - making sure to tuck the sides over the filling first. You can seal the fingers with a little water - this will stop the oil seeping in & the filling from bubbling out.
• Pour enough sunflower or vegetable oil into a large frying pan to cover the bottom by 1/2". Heat the oil over a medium heat until it is around 180c, then fry the fingers in batches for around 8-10 minutes or until they are crisp & deep golden, you will need to turn them so that they cook evenly.
• Remove the fingers wfrom the oil with a slotted spoon & stand upright on plenty of kitchen paper to drain. Serve warm. (if you do want to make these slightly ahead of time, you can fry them & reheat in the oven but take care not to leave them too long as the prawns will over cook & become rubbery.
