About The Event

Ingredients

  • 1 package böreklik yufka OR phyllo dough, thawed per package instructions

  • 5 heads of fresh spinach OR two 16 oz. packages chopped frozen spinach

  • 3 eggs

  • 2 cups plain yogurt

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • 3 green onions, chopped

  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

  • 1kg / 2 lbs wet Turkish beyaz peynir OR 14 oz. dry feta

    • Beyaz peynir can be found at My Pita Wrap on Milton

  • Salt + pepper

  • Black and / or white sesame seeds (optional)

  • Extra olive oil for brushing pan

  • You will also need a pastry/basting brush, or a similar food-safe brush

Chef’s Notes

  • I fell in love with this dish when trying it from a famous bakery on the Asian side of Istanbul. Since then, I've made it regularly, modifying it based on what ingredients I have  at hand

  • There are many shapes of Borek - some are flat like a lasagne, others are round, but my favorite shape is what I'll show during Culture Kitchen - gül börek or 'rose borek' since it looks like a flower

  • It is best eaten about 12 hours after it's baked. However, it can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or so. It's definitely a full-effort and full-fat food, but it's filling and I've always found it worth the time!
