Börek Filling and Dough

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Prepare the Squash Filling

    In a large pot, cook the cubed Koginut squash in boiling water for about 10 minutes until tender. Drain and mash the squash in a bowl. Add crumbled feta cheese, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Börek

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay one sheet of filo pastry on a clean surface and brush lightly with olive oil. Place another sheet on top and brush again. Add a generous amount of the squash filling along one edge of the pastry. Roll it up tightly to form a log and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling.

  3. 3

    Bake

    Brush the tops of the rolled börek with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
