BUREKAS
This is a Jewish Sephardic dish which is quite similar to the Turkish
"burak." Burekas can be prepared with various types of dough: strudel dough
(thin leaves), rising dough or with types of prepared dough found in the
market. This is a dish served on festive occasions, but also widely sold on
Israeli street corners. To be tasty, it must be served hot and fresh.
Dough
1/2 lb. margarine
1 tsp. salt
3 cups self-rising flour
warm water
Stuffing
1/2 cup cheese (feta)
1 cup cooked spinach
3 egg yolks
Garnish
1 egg yolk
sesame seeds to cover
Dough: Melt the margarine and mix with flour and salt. Add warm water
until able to roll dough. Roll it, cut a leaf, and cut circles with a cup.
Stuffing: Mix all the ingredients. Put one teaspoon of stuffing on each
dough circle. Fold in half. On top, spread yolk and sprinkle sesame seeds.
Place on a well-greased cookie tray and bake at 350 deg F (180 deg C) until
golden (approx. 15-20 min.). Serve hot.
