I mean, did burek!
The other day, I found ready-made dough called "Pita" in the store, in the form of thin rectangular sheets, and decided to finally try making burek, a national Montenegrin dish, using the video recipe 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 the dough would cook too quickly and burn, since it's very thin, and the ground meat wouldn't have time to cook. In the end, the crust browned beautifully, but the meat did cook through! I was also afraid the juices would leak out, but that didn't happen either. Apparently, the juices were 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! 🙁
