TURKISH BOREK
Steps:
- In a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil over moderate heat. Add the peppers, pul biber and onions, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the beef and cook until the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 15 minutes. Transfer the vegetables and meat to a bowl and let cool slightly.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and lightly oil a 9- by 13-inch glass baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk and 1/2 cup of the canola oil. Lay a sheet of yufka on a work surface and brush with the egg mixture; repeat until you have a stack of 2 sheets. Transfer the stack to the baking dish and spread one-third of the beef mixture on top. Repeat the layering twice more with the brushed yufka sheets and beef filling, then end with a stack of brushed yufka.
- Trim the overhanging yufka slightly and tuck it under itself. Brush any remaining egg mixture on top of the borek, top with the nigella sativa seeds and bake until deeply golden on top and sizzling, about 45 minutes. Let the borek rest for 20 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
BOREKS (TURKISH PASTRIES)
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.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, blend the feta and mozzarella cheese with the beaten eggs. Add the chopped herbs, season with pepper and nutmeg and stir well to mix.
- Cut the sheets of pastry into four rectangular strips approximately 3 inches wide. Cover all but one or two strips with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
- Brush on strip of pastry at a time with a little melted butter. Place 1 teaspoon filling at the bottom edge. Fold one corner over the filling to make a triangle shape. Continue folding the pastry over itself until you get to the end of the strip. Keep making triangles until all the mixture is used up.
- Place the boreks on a greased baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
POTATO BOREKS - BOREKAS TAPUKHAY ADAMA
Borekas are savory or sweet pastries made with puff pastry and a variety of fillings. The shape of a boreka usually tells you what the filling is -- triangles for cheese, squares for potatoes, twists for spinach. They are found everywhere on the streets in Israel, often treated as if they were sandwiches. The vendor opens the boreka to add chopped eggs, tomatoes and tahini sauce to the filling (which I haven't listed below, though I do include a recipe for a side of Haminados eggs). He then presents it to you with pickles. The Haminados eggs are simply eggs hard boiled in water containing dried onion peels, salt and pepper, with the option of adding a tablespoon or two of coffee grounds or instant coffee. This imparts a brownish color and wonderfully subtle flavor, which won't taste like either coffee or onions. At the Arab stalls, borekas are sold with a garnish of za'tar and salt. Whichever way you have them, plain or filled, they are totally irresistible. Recipe #178185 is a separate recipe for the Haminados Eggs (Sephardic Huevos Haminados) with variations for the crockpot and oven. Courtesy Anissa Helou.

Steps:
- Place eggs in a pot and add oil, salt, pepper, onion peels and coffee grounds, if using, in water to cover. Bring to a boil on high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cover the pot with the lid slightly ajar. (The eggs will be ready in one hour but most cooks leave them on very low heat overnight.).
- Fry the onion in the oil until lightly golden. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste, add the onions and cheese if you're using it, and mix well. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the puff pastry quite thinly, about 1/4" or less, and cut into 6 equal squares.
- Divide the filling into 6 parts. Place one portion in the middle of a square and fold into a triangle. Press hard on the sides to seal well and brush with the egg yolk. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Sprinkle the borekas with sesame seeds.
- Bake on the middle shelf of the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until crisp and golden. Check the bottoms to see if they are done they should be brown. Serve warm or at room temperature with haminados eggs.
- NOTES: These cannot be refrigerated, but can be frozen, preferably before baking.

BOREK (TURKISH MEAT ROLLS)
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.
