Beef Burek

Image
I love anything with flaky delish pastry, adding meat and/or cheese brings me nothing but joy (and probably explains my high cholesterol 😆) this burek recipe is probably something I wouldn't attempt normally but we made it at work and it was so yummy I wondered where it had been all my life. I'll note that I used store-bought filo pastry rather then making the proper pastry. Hats off to all the baba's out there slaving away to stretch and pull filo from scratch but I don't have the patience to do that at this point, but if someone has a sweet old baba who would like to show me I'll never say no!! You will need... 1 small brown onion, peeled and finely diced 400gr beef mince 1/2 cup picked parsley, chopped 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper 4 Tbsp vegetable oil, plus 1 extra teaspoon for cooking 2 eggs (if using large or jumbo eggs only use one) 4 Tbsp Greek yoghurt (unflavoured, natural) 3 Tbsp water 12 sheets filo pastry Canola spray for greasing Lemo
