Recipe

Burek sa mesom

Coiled meat burek from store-bought yufka sheets: a peppery beef and onion filling rolled in thin pastry, baked until deep golden, then sprinkled with water and rested under a cloth so the crust turns tender instead of brittle. Breakfast, lunch or midnight — burek answers all three.

  2. 2

    Lay one yufka sheet on the work surface and sprinkle it lightly with oil. Lay a second sheet on top, slightly overlapping. Keep the rest covered with a cloth so they do not dry out.
