How to Make Burek
Instructions
- In a skillet, sauté the chopped onions until translucent. Add the minced garlic and ground meat, cooking until the meat is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
- Season the meat with paprika, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish.
- Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the prepared dish and brush it with melted butter or oil. Repeat this layering process until you have about half of the dough sheets stacked.
- Spread the cooled meat mixture evenly over the dough.
- Continue layering the remaining phyllo sheets on top of the meat, brushing each sheet with butter or oil.
- Score the top of the burek into squares or triangles using a sharp knife.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until the burek is golden brown and crispy.
- While the burek is baking, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing plain yogurt and an egg. This will be drizzled over the burek when serving.
- Once done, remove the burek from the oven, and let it cool slightly before serving.
- Serve your delicious burek warm, drizzled with the yogurt sauce. Enjoy your Balkan pastry!
