Burek

December 27, 2014

Burek, or Borek depending on what spelling you use is a dish made with phyllo pastry that is filled with meat or cheese. Burek is thought to have originated in Central Asia; it was then adopted by the Ottoman Turks who took it with them to the various corners of their military empire. Other variations of burek exist in North Africa, namely in Tunisia and Algiers.
