This is served at Ali Baba’s Terrace , a Turkish restaurant, and recipe typically filled with meat, cheese etc and is fried Ingredients:
1 package premade filo dough |
1 tomato, thinly sliced |
8-12 slices turkish pastrami or prosciutto |
4 oz. kashar cheese ( semi hard white cheese, may sub mozzarella ) |
1 egg, beaten |
oil for frying |
Directions:
1. Separate the filo dough into sets of about two or three sheets.
2. Towards one side of the rectangle, lay two to three slices of Turkish pastrami or prosciutto.
3. Add to this a thin slice of tomato, and top with a thick slice of Kashar cheese.
4. With a brush, moisten the edges of the filo dough with egg wash, which will act as a binder and hold the borega together.
5. Wrap the filo dough into a closed rectangle, folding the smaller sides inwards and pinching together to make a safe close.
6. Use a bit more egg wash to ensure that all the seams are closed tightly.
7. Fill a medium saucepan about two-thirds with oil and heat.
8. Fry the boregi for a few minutes apiece, until bubbly and golden.
