Feta and Leek Börek
Sweet caramelized leeks and salty, creamy feta cheese combine to make a delicious filling in these bite-sized Turkish pastries called Börek.
Ingredients
- 3 leek white and pale green parts, finely sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp white granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup chicken stock
- 1 bay leaf
- sea salt
- black pepper
- 7 oz feta cheese crumbled
- 2 tbsp oregano finely chopped fresh
- 8 sheets phyllo pastry sheets
- salted butter melted, for brushing
- 2 tbsp poppy seeds hemp, poppy and/or black sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F (205 C).
- Sauté the leeks, garlic and sugar in the olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the stock and bay leaf, and season. Cook until the leeks are very tender, about 10 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and cool. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and combine with the cheese and oregano.
- Spread a sheet of filo on the work surface, and cut lengthwise into thirds. Keep the remaining filo covered with a damp kitchen towel. Each strip will make 1 börek.
- Brush a filo strip with melted butter and place a tablespoon of filling across the corner of one end. Fold this corner up and over to form a triangle and enclose the filling. Fold over again, and continue until you have a triangular pastry parcel. Repeat with remaining filo and filling.
- Arrange the böreks on a baking sheet. Brush with more melted butter and sprinkle with the seeds. Bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown.
