I mean, did burek!
The other day in the store I found a ready-made dough called "Pita" in the form of thin rectangular sheets and finally decided to try to make burek, a national Montenegrin dish, according to the video recipe that I already posted here - Cooking like in Montenegro: burek
Of course, I greatly simplified my task by buying ready-made dough; you probably won’t find anything like this in Russia, except, of course, in Moscow, where you can find everything
Even if you can’t find this dough in the store, cook it yourself, your own dough is always tastier!
Because I had rectangular sheets, a round burek, as in the video, would be very difficult to make; so I made one rectangular one for the floor of the baking sheet and two more small rectangular ones, thereby filling the entire baking sheet. I did everything according to the recipe: I put the minced meat with onions and garlic in two tiers and then wrapped it several times in the dough.
I was afraid that the dough would cook faster and burn, because. very thin, and the stuffing will not have time to cook. As a result, the crust was very well browned, but the meat had time to cook! I was also afraid that the juice from the meat would necessarily leak out, but this did not happen either - apparently, the juice was absorbed into the layers of dough.
In general, we have never tasted such a delicious burek! Just lick your fingers. Therefore, I advise you to make it and surprise your loved ones with an overseas, Montenegrin dish!
Unfortunately, we ate it so quickly that I did not have time to take a picture of the resulting masterpiece!
