I don't know what that is but it looks good. Is that broccoli in there ?

Posted by: Slavenko Erazer Sep 10 2012, 01:21 PM

Nope man, that's some kind of herbs , like spinach filled with cheese and it's very tasty, some call it Cheese cake.

Here's World's biggest burek, it weights 200 Kilos and it's 8 square meters big



And there's also the smallest one, weights only 5 gram,

Now cover that in bacon and you're good to go!

Posted by: Slavenko Erazer Sep 10 2012, 01:39 PM

Oh no, that would be too much, believe me

You should try Burek filled with meat also

Posted by: Qenzoz Sep 10 2012, 01:47 PM

What kind of meat is there in it? Any kind you want or some specific?

Posted by: Slavenko Erazer Sep 10 2012, 01:55 PM

Here's Burek with cheese, spinach or meat (usually pork, beef or lamb meat)

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 10 2012, 02:10 PM

Awesome! it looks really good to me! Unfortunately I'm far from there, if not I would definitely go!

No Harm in havin a small Brrrreakk with a Burrekk

Posted by: Slavenko Erazer Sep 10 2012, 04:24 PM

I love Burek with cheese - sheep cheese - but not the cheap chees

and would rather prefer the big ONE than the small ONE

Posted by: Slavenko Erazer Sep 10 2012, 04:45 PM

With sheep chees it's hard to find!!

I like the regular one as well

Posted by: Dieterle Sep 10 2012, 04:53 PM

Hello Slavenko !

I thought it is sheep cheese the same stuff like the use in the turkish Börek !?


I am 53 years old now and all my life i thought i have been eating Burek with sheep cheese ,

tell me what did i eat then ?

Hallo Dieter

We in Serbia are making Burek with soft-creamy cow cheese , maybe Turks make it different, i don.t know.
I also ate Burek with hard/goat cheese, but it was too dry for my taste.

Here's recipe for it, if u like

Thank you a lot Slavenko !!!

I love Burek and i just told my wife about your recipe link - GREAT !

We will try that .

One of my neighbors is a turkish mother and with her son my wife and i did in younger times a lot of sport together,

theire childs are not anymore in Germany but when she is making Börek there is always a big piece for me because she knows i love it.

Anyway the Paste is not the same like in Burek - as i remember Burek is more softy inside a bit like nudel`s

and Börek is more thin paste inside and more try !?

It is not the best explanation i now but i hope you know what i mean .

Greetings to Serbia !

Dieter

the burek's pastry 's more harder from the outside and softer in inside , but it's not as nudel.
U use special pastry to make Burek... U have to buy special kind of pastry just for burek

it looks like this



Can u buy thistzpe of pastry in Germany? Or maybe you can buy Burek in Turks Shops?

Grüss für Deustchland!!

Oh man, I thought it was going to be a easy recipe. I have no idea how to acquire that pastry. I guess I´ll have to.... Improvise

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 11 2012, 07:12 AM

korblitz - do you know how to cook?

On the topic - I LOVE Burek I have tried it here many times at a Serbian pub but I think the original MUST be awesome.

My grandma is an expert on pastries so I guess I should talk to her about taking care of some Burek for the Lupu clan

Now that you've posted the pics of Burek with meat I'm sure I've seen this in the forum before. I think Cosmin or Sinisa (or somebody else from Eastern Europe) posted some pics of it.. it looks SO good !!!

Posted by: Slavenko Erazer Sep 11 2012, 09:52 AM

IDk, this is photo from some design site

Btw, but this isn't Eastern Europe, this's crossroads between Central and Southeastern Europe

Posted by: Ben Higgins Sep 11 2012, 01:30 PM

If it's past Germany it's Eastern Europe to me !!!

Posted by: Slavenko Erazer Sep 11 2012, 01:31 PM

I've see you missed geography classes
