Meat Bourekas

Meat bourekas

You can make these in advance and freeze raw baking directly from oven. This is another wonderful double up and freeze for another day idea.

Ingredients

2 rolls ORIT's puff pastry

½ kg lean mince meat

3 potatoes boiled and mashed

1 onion grated fine

½ tsp crushed garlic

½ tsp turmeric

½ tsp cumin

½ tsp ground coriander

1 tsp parsley ( fresh is always best but if you don’t have dry is also fine)

2tsp paprika

Method

1.       In a frying pan saute the onions until golden

2.       Remove and fry the mince till almost cooked through

3.       Add the onions again and all the spices.

4.       Add the mashed potatoes and mix together until well combined.

5.       Roll out puff pastry and cut out squares about 10x10 cm or to your preference.

6.       Spoon the filling into the puff pastry and fold over.  At this point you can freeze for baking another day.

7.       Place on baking dish

8.       Brush with some lightly beaten egg and decorate with sesame seeds if you would like.

9.       Bake in oven preheated to 180C for 30 minutes.  Make sure It’s baked through by checking the bottom of the bourekas.  They should be dry on the bottom and flaky.  If not then lower the temperature to 160 and bake for another 15 minutes.
