Paçanga böreği was born as a meyhane meze and its ingredients are fixed: pastırma, kaşar cheese, charred pepper. Slice the pastırma thin and do not use too much; çemen is a strong flavour and one slice is enough for one roll.
Ingredients
For the börek
For sealing
For frying
Method
-
Cut the pastry
Cut each sheet into 6 triangles.
-
Lay out the filling
Along the wide edge of each triangle put pastırma, cheese, charred pepper and tomato.
-
Roll
Fold the sides in and roll up tightly.
-
Seal
Close the end with flour paste.
-
Fry
Turn in hot oil for 3 minutes, until golden all over.
-
Drain
Transfer to kitchen paper and serve hot.
Tips
- Deseed the tomato; its liquid wets the pastry from inside and the roll falls apart.
- Do not use too much pastırma, or the çemen dominates and smothers the cheese.
- Serve hot; as the cheese cools it hardens and the roll turns heavy.
