B\u00f6rek with spinach and feta<\/strong> is a hearty dish that you can enjoy hot or cold. It is a simple recipe that is incredibly tasty because it is creamy, spicy and crispy. Whether as a main course, finger food or an addition to a buffet – the spinach-filled b\u00f6rek<\/strong> tastes fantastic and is perfect for any occasion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is B\u00f6rek?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

B\u00f6rek<\/strong> is a dish that is prepared with yufka dough. The shape and filling can vary. You may be served b\u00f6rek<\/em> or burek<\/em> wrapped up as a snail, as a piece from a tray or from a casserole dish, as a roll or as a pocket. For example, I have layered the b\u00f6rek with minced meat<\/a> as a casserole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mostly savory filling can consist of cheese, potatoes, minced meat or spinach and feta. Of course, there are other variations and the b\u00f6rek recipe<\/strong> also changes depending on the region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

B\u00f6rek originates from Turkey, but is also part of the cuisine in parts of the Balkans, Arab countries and Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need these simple ingredients for b\u00f6rek with spinach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can now also get b\u00f6rek in various bakeries. However, it just doesn’t taste as good there. The dough is not crispy and the pastry generally has very little flavor. So there are only two options: you fly to Turkey and feast your way through the tasty world of b\u00f6rek or you stay at home and go on a culinary journey in your kitchen. And by that I mean put on your apron and make your own b\u00f6rek with spinach! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will need ingredients that you can find in any well-stocked supermarket. For the vegan version<\/strong>, you can simply replace all dairy products with plant-based<\/strong> foods. The yufka dough you need for the spinach b\u00f6rek is vegan and you can adjust the other ingredients accordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a little more time, you can also make the yufka dough yourself<\/a>. This is because homemade dough is a little more elastic than the ready-made dough and you can roll it into a B\u00f6rek snail<\/strong> more easily later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need the following ingredients for the sauce:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
