Ramadan Special 2013: Bourek

Salam 3alaikoum everyone,

Today I want to share my Bourek recipe with all of you. Bourek is a famous Ramadan dish in Algeria. They are filled puff pastry in the shape of a pancake roll. There are many fillings, but I will give you the meatloaf filling and the tuna filling. Whenever you guys would like to try out another filling send me an e-mail or react down here. They are truly delicious :)

Saha Ftorkom! (Bon Appetit)




The Ingredients for Bourek with meatloaf filling:

- store bought puff pastry sheets
- 500 gr meatloaf
- parsley
- salt, pepper
- 100 gr cheese spread


The preparation:

Fry the meatloaf in a pan. When done remove from the heat and pour in a bowl. Add chopped parsley, salt, pepper and cheese spread. Mix the ingredients in the bowl. Now take a sheet of puff pastry and put the filling close to the begin of the sheet. Roll over the puff pastry, so the filling is covered. Fold the sides to the inside and roll till the end. You should end up with a perfect shaped Bourek. Heat a fryingpan and fry the Bourek from both sides untill golden brown.


The ingredients for Bourek with tuna filling:

- store bought puff pastry sheets
- a can of tuna on oil base
- 3 potatoes
- parsley
- salt, pepper


The preparation:

Cook the 3 potatoes in boiling water with the skin for about 20 minutes. When the potatoes are cooked, remove from the heat and take out the boiling water. Remove the skin (this should go easily after cooking them). Mash the cooked potatoes in a bowl. Chop the parsley and add to the bowl. Also add a teaspoon of salt, a quarter of a teaspoon of pepper, and the tuna. Make sure you don´t add any of the oil remaining in the can of tuna. Now mix well. Shape and fry the Bourek as explained before.
