Borek is a baked or fried filled pastry. It can be filled with cheese, meat or veggies. For this recipe, I use spinach; it is delicious. It originates from Modern Day Turkey. Borek roll is usually prepared in a large pan and cut into portions after baking or as individual pastries before baking or frying..

 

 

Ingredients

• Borek dough (can get from local Mediterranean grocer) or light easy dough (dough recipe coming soon on www.suzyeats.com)
• 6 cups fresh spinach leaves (~1 bag)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 medium yellow onion chopped
• 2 small tomatoes chopped (remove seeds)
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon sumac
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• vegetable or canola oil for frying

It is also tasty on veggies. Seven spice has a very exotic flavor that is sure to excite all of your taste buds. I have listed the ingredients below. Feel free to try and make it or  you can purchase it from a Middle Eastern market. It also makes a great gift 🙂 You can wrap it up and decorate a beautiful spice bottle….

Kebob or Kebab is a type of meat dish that can be found worldwide. Kebob usually refers to a shish kebob served on a skewer. In the Middle East it includes grilled, roasted and stewed dishes of meat. Traditionally, lamb is used in a kebob but you can also use beef, goat, chicken, fish, seafood or veggie style with falafel or tofu. Kebobs are excellent for summer barbeque.
