Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound lean ground beef
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon paprika
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 potato, finely chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 (16 ounce) package phyllo dough
¼ cup melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Brown ground beef in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain fat; stir in allspice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Transfer beef to a large bowl and stir in potato and onion.
  • Unroll phyllo pastry and transfer 2 sheets to a work surface; stack sheets. Spoon 1/8th of the ground beef mixture down one long edge of the phyllo pastry. Roll phyllo into a tube, encasing beef. Shape the tube into a coil (snail shape). Place the roll on an ungreased baking sheet; brush with melted butter. Repeat, placing finished rolls up against one another to keep them from unrolling.
  • Bake burek in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.

Feta Cheese Burek (Phyllo Dough) image

An Eastern European delicacy. Probably one of the most loved foods from the Balkans. There are two ways to create burek: with homemade dough or with phyllo dough (pre-made store-bought). In this recipe we will be using the pre-made phyllo dough. You can put potatoes, meat, spinach, boiled cabbage, or feta cheese inside! This one will be with feta cheese. Truly a tasty meal! And very easy to make! Eat with yogurt for authenticity.

SPIRALIZED SCALLOPED POTATOES



Spiralized Scalloped Potatoes image

Cheesy, crispy edges are the best part of scalloped potatoes -- and using a spiralizer will give you a lot more of them. Cutting the potatoes this way makes it easy to serve everyone their own potato and creates uniform pieces that will cook at the same rate.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more at room temperature for the baking dish
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
10 fresh sage leaves
2 cups half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 cups shredded white Cheddar
1 1/4 cups shredded Monterey jack
6 small russet potatoes (about 2 pounds total), peeled

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch square baking dish with butter.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and stir with a wooden spoon to make a paste. Cook until the flour mixture begins to toast, about 1 minute. Add 4 of the sage leaves and let them sizzle for a minute, then whisk in the half-and-half, nutmeg, 2 teaspoons salt and several grinds of pepper. Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook until slightly thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and discard the sage leaves, then pour 1/2 cup sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish and spread to coat. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup each of the Cheddar and Monterey jack.
  • Trim the ends from the potatoes so they will fit on a spiral slicing machine. Use the plain blade to slice a potato into a long ribbon. Pick up one end of the potato and let it spiral back onto itself in a neat pile. Tuck the spiralized potato into a corner of the baking dish, with the neat ruffly edge sticking up. Place a second potato next to the first potato, separating them with 2 of the sage leaves. Place 2 potatoes side by side in the middle of the baking dish, separating them with 2 of the sage leaves. Then place the remaining 2 potatoes and 2 sage leaves in the other corners of the baking dish, so you end up with 3 rows of 2 potatoes each. Pour the sauce over the potatoes and sprinkle with the remaining 3/4 cup each Cheddar and Monterey jack. Cover the dish with foil, tenting it so it doesn't touch the cheese.
  • Bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil and continue to bake until browned and bubbly and the edges of the potatoes are crispy, 20 to 25 minutes more. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
