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.

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound mild green peppers, such as cubanelles or Anaheims, stemmed, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon pul biber pepper (Aleppo pepper)
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds ground beef
3/4 cup canola oil, plus more for brushing
5 large eggs
1 cup milk
One 16-ounce package yufka dough
2 tablespoons nigella sativa (black cumin seeds)

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.

8 ounces feta cheese, grated
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated
2 eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons parsley, chopped
3 tablespoons chives, chopped
3 tablespoons mint, chopped
1 pinch nutmeg
8 ounces phyllo pastry
3 -4 tablespoons melted butter
salt & fresh ground pepper

BöREK - TURKISH PASTIES

Delicious savoury pasties with a Turkish twist! Great as a snack, a side for soups or salads or as a small meal on their own! There are two filling options, each makes enough for 8 pasties. The dough recipe is for 16 pasties, so if you want to make just e.g. 8 feta pasties, cut the dough recipe in half. Use the amount of flour listed only as a guideline as the amount of gluten will vary. You can use dried yeast instead of fresh if you prefer, just adjust the temperature of the dough accordingly and add the yeast with the flour. Recipe adapted from Maku magazine.

Steps:

  • To make dough: Melt butter. Add milk, sugar and salt. Check the temperature (it should be 35-37 C) and crumble yeast into the mixture. Add eggs and egg whites, stir. Gradually add flour; knead the dough for about five minutes or until it is smooth and elastic and starts to pull away from the edges of the bowl. Cover and let rise for 30-60 minutes.
  • To make cheese filling: Finely chop onion and garlic. Heat oil in a pan and cook onion and garlic until softened. Let cool. Crumble feta in a bowl with a fork and mix all ingredients together into a paste.
  • To make ground beef filling: Finely chop onion and garlic. Heat oil in a pan and cook onion, garlic and ground beef until browned. Add all remaining ingredients except for egg. Check the taste: the filling should taste fairly strong and salty. Let cool and finally mix in egg.
  • Preheat oven to 225°C Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Oil the baking board and turn the dough on it. Divide the dough in half and cut each half into 8 pieces.
  • Roll each piece out into an oval about ½ cm thick. Divide the fillings between the 16 ovals. Turn a few centimetres of the dough on top of the filling on each side and pinch the ends together tightly, so you have a boat-shaped pasty. (You can bring the sides quite close together, as the pasties "open" a bit as they bake). Carefully transfer the pasties on the baking sheet. Brush the sides with egg yolk and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

TAVUK BOREK (TURKISH CHICKEN PASTRIES)

In Turkey, these pastries are generally eaten as a snack. They can be baked or deep-fried. To make Tavuk Borek as a main course, double the quantity of the filling. See the notes below. This recipe is from 'The Best of Lebanese and Middle Eastern Cooking' and has been posted for the 2005 Zaar World Tour. I have not yet made this recipe, but because I don't like raisins, when I make it, (influnced by another Turkish recipe from the same source), I'll be replacing the raisins with ground almonds.

Tavuk Borek (Turkish Chicken Pastries) image

Steps:

  • Steam the chicken breast over boiling water for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked, set aside to cool; then, once cooled, remove the skin and bones and finely chop the flesh.
  • Heat the butter, add the flour and cook over a moderate heat for a few minutes, stirring. Gradually add the milk, bring to the boil, then immediately lower the heat and simmer over a low heat for 2 minutes and add the cinnamon and raisins and season to taste with salt and pepper. Then set aside to cool, covering the surface with a piece of plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. When the sauce is cool, stir through the chicken.
  • Cut the pastry lengthways into three strips. Cover with a tea towel. Take one strip of pastry, brush lightly with oil and place a little filling at one end. Fold over end and sides and roll up neatly. Place seam side down on a greased baking tray. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling. Brush tops with a little oil and bake in a moderate oven (180°C; 350°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden.
  • Serve warm.
  • Note: To make the Borek as a main meal make double the quantity of filling, by following the instructions in steps 1 and 2. Leave the pastry whole, and use 3 lightly oiled sheets to line the base of a suitable lightly oiled pan. Once the filling mixture has cooled, place it over the pastry and cover it with 3 more lightly oiled sheets. Sprinkle it with water and lightly score the surface. Bake as in step 3 but for 35-40 minutes, or until golden.
