Categories     Balkan Recipes In English

Number Of Ingredients 15

500g all-purpose flour (3.5 cups)
1 teaspoon of salt
300-350mls lukewarm water (1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups)
Vegetable oil
150 g cottage cheese (2/3 cup)
100 g crumbled feta cheese (2/3 cup)
1 large beaten egg
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 medium, diced onion
300 g lean beef mince (10 oz)
1 potato, boiled cut into small cubes
2 grated garlic cloves
Half teaspoon chopped rosemary, fresh is best
Half tablespoon smoked paprika
Half tablespoon salt

Steps:

  • Take a large bowl and combine the flour and the salt
  • Add the water bit by bit, mixing until the mixture forms a dough
  • Knead the dough for around five minutes, until it turns quite stretchy
  • Split the dough mixture into batches of four and press down to flatten
  • You need to find a bowl or a pan which is large enough to hold the dough when it is piled up on top of each other
  • Add a little bit of vegetable oil to the pan or bowl and put the first flattened piece of dough inside
  • Add a bit more oil (not too much), and add another piece of dough - repeat until you've done the same with all four pieces
  • Add more vegetable oil on top of the last piece and place to one side to rest
  • Preheat your oven to around 200°C (390°F)
  • Add a little vegetable oil over your work surface (a table is best) - just a little!
  • Remove one piece of dough from the bowl and remove the excess oil
  • Flatten the piece of dough until it reaches a thickness of no more than around half a centimeter
  • Handle the dough and stretch it outwards, over and over, so that you pull it to around 1 meter in diameter - you might end up with a few holes but don't worry about it too much. By the end, you should be able to see through the dough
  • Take one side of the dough disc and fold it over, towards the center
  • Repeat this process until you have a shape that resembles a pentagon
  • Repeat with the second piece of dough
  • Add your filling (see below for the filling instructions) to the dough piece
  • Add the first piece of stretched dough into the middle of the second one, and cut away the thick edge of the second piece - you can throw this away, you won't need it
  • Fold over the edges of the dough, so that you get a pentagon shape once more, and put it into a baking pan or tray
  • Put the pan in the oven and bake for around half an hour, until it is a golden color
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool down
  • Cut into 12 pieces
  • Repeat the process with the rest of the dough
  • Bake until the pastry turns golden, and serve while warm!
  • Take a mixing bowl and add in both kinds of cheese, combining together
  • Add the egg and combine once more
  • Take a large pan and heat up the oil over a medium heat
  • Add the onion and cook until soft
  • Now, add the mince and cook for around 2 minutes, stirring regularly
  • Now, add the potato, the rosemary, the garlic, and the paprika, and stir to combine
  • Add the salt and continue to cook, ensuring the beef mince is cooked through
  • Once cooked, drain the beef with a sieve to get rid of any excess oil and press down to dry it out

FETA CHEESE BUREK (PHYLLO DOUGH)



Feta Cheese Burek (Phyllo Dough) image

An Eastern European delicacy. Probably one of the most loved foods from the Balkans. There are two ways to create burek: with homemade dough or with phyllo dough (pre-made store-bought). In this recipe we will be using the pre-made phyllo dough. You can put potatoes, meat, spinach, boiled cabbage, or feta cheese inside! This one will be with feta cheese. Truly a tasty meal! And very easy to make! Eat with yogurt for authenticity.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound lean ground beef
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon paprika
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 potato, finely chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 (16 ounce) package phyllo dough
¼ cup melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Brown ground beef in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain fat; stir in allspice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Transfer beef to a large bowl and stir in potato and onion.
  • Unroll phyllo pastry and transfer 2 sheets to a work surface; stack sheets. Spoon 1/8th of the ground beef mixture down one long edge of the phyllo pastry. Roll phyllo into a tube, encasing beef. Shape the tube into a coil (snail shape). Place the roll on an ungreased baking sheet; brush with melted butter. Repeat, placing finished rolls up against one another to keep them from unrolling.
  • Bake burek in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.
