Chef tips
To ensure the pastry stays crisp and golden, it's essential to let the meat filling cool to room temperature before filling. A warm filling will make the pastry soggy and spoil its light, flaky texture. Switch up the flavour by adding a touch of baharat or a handful of toasted pine nuts to the meat. Serve the borek with thick tahini and a fresh salad – the children will love helping brush the egg and scatter the sesame seeds on top.
