Preparation and Cooking: In a medium saucepan, place 6 of the eggs,
add water to cover, and bring to a low boil. Cook the eggs for 12 to
15 minutes. Drain and let cool. Peel, place the eggs a medium bowl,
and mash them coarsely with a fork. Mix in the cheese, garlic,
parsley, mint, olives, salt, pepper, paprika and 1 lightly beaten  egg.
Cover a working surface with damp towel. Carefully unwrap the  phyllo
and unfold it on the towel. With the long edge of the phyllo  facing
you, and using a sharp knife, cut vertically through the  stacked
sheets of dough to make 4 equal sections, each about 4-1/2  inches
wide. Cover with another damp towel if you are not using the  phyllo
immediately. Place l tablespoon of the filling about l inch  from the
bottom edge of one strip. Fold over a bottom corner of the  strip to
cover the filling. Continue folding as you would a flag, to  obtain a
triangular shape. Beat the remaining egg and use it to seal  the top
edge. Repeat the process until all the filling has been used.  In a
heavy, medium saucepan pour oil to a depth of 2 inches and heat  it
over medium-high heat until it reaches 325 degrees, or a piece of  the
dough sizzles instantly. Fry the pastries in batches to avoid  crowding
them, until golden, about 6 to 8 minutes, and drain them  well on paper
towels. Serve at oncew ith lemon wedges. Makes 32  betzels.  One ounce
of cheese yields about 1/4 cup when grated or shredded.  [Riverside

"Essentially Mediterranean cooking...liberal use  of garlic and olive
oils." Kitty Morse (c. 1996) Chronicle ($22.95).  "Olives have a
special role in North African Cooking. The green or  purple varies are
most often used in dishes like tagines (stews)  while black olives are
used either as appetizers or to garnish  salads." -Kitty
