Happy Mom's
Bourek (Meat Filled Pastry) made, devoured greedily and reviewed, for the North African and Middle Eastern Tag game!
My review:
Very good. The whole family loved them. I served them with
Hajar's Wicked Sauce Tomatish!, my own
Coriander/Cilantro Yoghurt (Very Easy Side Dish) and a mixed leaf salad. We had two boureks each, as a main course. I didn't use the egg to seal the packages shut, because if you just lay them on the tray seam-side down, you don't need to seal them. I often make another version of this which has more spices, and I would have preferred more than 1/8 tsp cinnamon in this recipe because I couldn't taste it in the finished product - next time I'll increase the amount. I have to say that nobody else felt that more cinnamon was needed, so this is obviously a matter of personal taste! This is a great recipe - very easy to make, and a big hit with my family. Thank you.
