Spinach Pie (Börek)
Assalamu aleikum,
By popular demand on my Instagram page, I drafted the recipe for this savory spinach pie also known as Börek.
Ingredients:
- 1 pack of phylo dough
- 12 oz of chopped spinach
- 1/4 of 12 oz bell pepper
- salt
- pepper
- garlic
- 1 tbsp of olive oil
Other things you need:
- 1 baking pan of 9 inch
- a pizza pan or a flat surface
- a brush
The Directions:
Mix all the ingredients and stir fry them with a little water until they become translucent. Let the mixture cool down.
Now prepare your workstation.
Spread the sheets and brush them with oil. Some will be broken but it's ok. You can work with them by applying oil on them to make them stick together. Noone will know in the finish product that some of the pastry sheets were mismatched *wink* .
Roll and brush with more olive oil if needed. At first, put your roll on the side of the pan. As your rolls increase, you can center them and they won't unfold. Do the same for the rest of the sheets.
When done, brush the top of sheets with some olive oil and bake it at 300 degrees for 45 mins to an hour. Every oven is different so keep that in mind.
Voilà! Bon appetit! :)
