Cigar borek (Sigara börek) - is a national Turkish dish that is served at home for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In shape, these tasty tubes are similar to Cuban cigars - hence the name!
Traditional crispy straws are prepared from the finest filo test . To buy ready-made is absolutely wasteful, and to cook and pull it yourself is a labor-intensive process.
We propose to cook this hot snack using thin pita bread . Faster will not think!
INGREDIENTS
-
- 4 thin lavash
-
- 150 grams of brynza (you can cottage cheese)
-
- 1 egg
- dill
-
- black pepper
-
- salt (if needed)
-
- vegetable oil for frying
PREPARATION
Cut the pita bread into the triangles.
Dill finely chop and mix with brynza or cottage cheese, pepper. Separate the yolk from the protein and add the yolk to the filling. Stir thoroughly. If you use cottage cheese, season with salt.
On the wide edge of the lavash put the stuffing and roll it with a tube. To prevent the pies from spinning, lubricate the tip with the remaining egg white.
Fry the food in a sufficient amount of well-heated oil, then lay it on a napkin in order to remove its excess.
It turns out a whole mountain of delicious crispy tubules! By the way, such pipes can be prepared more and some of it can be frozen for later: if visitors unexpectedly arrive, you will have something to treat them.
