Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 package Yufka Dough (See note #1)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion (diced)
4 cups spinach
1/2 cup white cheese (See note #2)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 Russet potato
1/2 tsp Aleppo pepper
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup White cheese
2 tbsp chopped parsley
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • First, know that yufka, like phyllo dough, is delicate and might break. That's completely okay.
  • To make the spinach filling: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Saute onion until golden, add spinach and cook until the spinach is wilted. Once the spinach is cool enough to handle, mix it with cheese, salt and pepper.
  • To make potato filling: Wash and peel the potato. Cut it into large chunks and boil until fork tender. Mash the potato completely and add Aleppo pepper, salt and black pepper.
  • To make the cheese filling: Mix cheese with parsley, salt and pepper.
  • Place a triangle shaped yufka dough on a clean surface, with the wide side facing you. Wet your finger with water and moisten the edges. This will help the edges to stick while rolling.
  • Add one to two tablespoon of filling one inch away from the wide edge and form it into a thin log.
  • Fold the outer corners over the filling and roll the borek. Dip your index finger in water and wet the edges again and roll tightly. Set aside and continue with the remaining yufka and filling.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a non stick pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the boreks in the oil and fry on all sides until crispy and golden. Don't over crowd the pan. Place the boreks on a kitchen paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
  • Continue with the remaining boreks and add more oil if needed.

BOREKS (TURKISH PASTRIES)



Boreks (Turkish Pastries) image

This is a recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks, called "The Classic Mediterranean Cookbook" by Sarah Woodward. They're savory stuffed pastries (filled with crumbled feta cheese and savory herbs) that are baked to golden perfection and usually served as an appetizer.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 35m

Yield 24 pastries, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 ounces feta cheese
2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped (or dill can be used)
2 tablepsoons parsley, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 sheets phyllo pastry

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Crumble the feta cheese, then mix feta with the chives (or dill), parsley, and pepper.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Skim off any foam that accumulates.
  • Cut the phyllo pastry sheets into 3-inch strips. Take one strip and cover the rest with a clean, damp cloth.
  • Brush the first phyllo strip with melted butter, and place a teaspoon of feta/herb mixture on the bottom right corner of the phyllo sheet, about 1/4-inch from the edge.
  • Pick up the bottom right corner of the phyllo sheet and fold it up and over the feta/herb mixture so the corner reaches the top edge of the phyllo sheet and forms a triangle. Keep folding the pastry over itself, being careful that the filling remains intact, until you reach the end of the phyllo sheet and have a triangle shaped pastry.
  • Repeat steps #5 and #6, using remaining phyllo sheets and feta/herb mixture.
  • Lay pastries on a baking sheet, and brush with remaining melted butter. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

BOREK (TURKISH MEAT ROLLS)



Borek (Turkish Meat Rolls) image

These are a delicious, turkish version of the spring rolls. Great as main dish served with salad. I got this recipe from someone who brought time to a potluck. I submitted the original recipe, the stuff in brackets is what I had on had when I made them. It's hard to find sheeps cheese around here unless you go to a specialty food store.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 45m

Yield 24 pcs, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 lb ground lamb (I used beef and pork mix)
3/4 lb sheep's milk cheese (I used feta crumbled)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon thyme
pepper
8 sheets phyllo dough
1 egg
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup olive oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Brown meat in pan at medium-hi heat.
  • Drain and transfer browned meat to a medium bowl to cool.
  • When the meat has cooled crumble cheese and add to the meat.
  • Add the parsley, garlic thyme and pepper and mix well.
  • Let this sit for 30 minutes.
  • In a small bowl beat the egg with water to make an egg wash.
  • Working quickly now, so the phyllo does not dry out.
  • Take 1 sheet phyllo dough brush or spray with olive oil, place another sheet on top and brush or spray again.
  • Cut the two sheets into six rectangles.
  • Take a good tablespoon of meat mix and place it about an 1 ½" to 2 inches up from one of the corners of the rectangle.
  • Lift the corner of the pastry and fold over the meat mixture, then lift and fold the corner on the right and then left to make and envelope about 3- 4 inches wide, then roll up to top.
  • Repeat for the next five pieces.
  • Brush with egg wash.
  • Heat some of the olive oil in a heavy pan a fry the meat rolls, turning to brown on all sides, lightly flatten them with spatula while frying.
  • Repeat the dough and rolling with the rest of the dough sheets.
  • These are also very nice cold.
  • I sometimes use a Tzatziki sauce for dip or mint sauce if using lamb.

  • Turkish Eggplant Salad Recipe. I know many people are split on eggplant, and I think it has a lot to do with the texture. Like mushrooms, they can be rubbery when cooked wrong.
  • Turkish Fava Bean Puree. Fava beans have a wonderfully unique flavor profile, with hints of nuts, sweetness, and even cheese. This appetizer is super popular in Turkey, and it can be made to set up firm or as a dip.
  • Greek Yogurt Turkish Flatbread (Bazlama) If you’ve wanted to try homemade flatbread but don’t have a mixer, this recipe is for you! This soft and tender flatbread recipe can be made in one bowl with minimal kneading and just 15 minutes of rest time.
  • Turkish Beans. These are not the sweet BBQ beans you might be used to. Instead, they contain tomatoes, onions, garlic, and carrots. The Mediterranean seasoning makes these a great little side to any meal.
  • Best Fried Eggplant Recipe with Tomatoes. Between the juicy roasted tomatoes and crisp garlic chips, I could eat this dish as a main meal any day. The key to getting the perfect texture on your eggplant is to salt your slices and let them ‘sweat’ for about 45 minutes.
  • Turkish Bread (Pide) I fell in love with these pizza-like bread boats many years ago. They’re a cross between stuffed bread and a savory pie, and I wish I made them more often.
  • 20-Minute Turkish Vegetarian Meatballs. There’s no reason vegans have to miss out on a plate full of ‘meaty’ meatballs and spicy marinara. I love finding vegan alternatives, and this one is terrific.
  • Roasted Red Pepper Dip (Muhammara Recipe) Slightly sweet, slightly smoky, and just as spicy as you like, this dip is on another level to boring old hummus.
  • Turkish Spicy Ezme Salad. This recipe is almost like a Turkish chimichurri. It uses tomatoes, onion, garlic, and parsley and will enhance anything from kebabs to burgers to chicken.
  • Turkish Tomato Cucumber Salad. My favorite thing about this recipe has to be the color. It’s lively and beautiful and will brighten up any table. And then there’s the taste!
