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.

  • Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and chill until ready to use. This can be made several hours ahead.
  • Set up a work station: Set out your roll of phyllo sheets and cover them with a damp dish towel. You’ll need a small bowl of water, a pizza cutter, and a large plate or tray to lay the rolls on.
  • Place one sheet of phyllo on your work surface with the longer edge facing you. Cut it, vertically, into 4 equal strips. Put about 2 teaspoons of the feta mixture near the end of one strip, leaving a one-inch border on each side. Fold the 2 long sides of the phyllo over so they meet in the middle, covering the cheese filling. Roll up the filling and keep rolling until you get almost to the end of the strip. Moisten the end with some water and then finish rolling. The water helps seal the roll. Repeat with the other 3 rolls. Set them on a plate. Repeat the process until you use up your filling. Leftover phyllo sheets can be kept in the fridge for a few days, tightly sealed in plastic. (see photos and tips in the blog post)
