Borek (Algerian Beef Rolls)
Ingredients
- 600 g Minced Beef
- 10 sheets Feuilles de Brick
- 5 triangles LaVache Qui Rit
- 1 Medium Red Onion
- 1/2 cup Chopped Parsley
- 1 Egg
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- In a deep pan preheat 1 tbsp of olive oil. Place chopped onion into the pan and cook on medium heat until half-way cooked. Add minced beef and season with salt and pepper. When beef is almost ready add parsley and mix well through.
- Let the beef cool down before rolling it into the pastry. Beat the egg in a small bowl and prepare cream cheese. Take one sheet of the pasty out of the packaging and spread half triangle of cheese just a few inches over the bottom part of the pastry. Add 3 tbsp of minced beef and start rolling quite tightly. When you get to the middle of the pastry fold in the sides and egg wash the top part, roll the rest and place on the baking tray lined with parchment paper. Continue until all the beef is finished. Brush each borek with egg wash.
- Preheat the oven to 180C. Place borek in the oven and bake for 10 min or until golden brown.
- Serve alongside soup and with a wedge of lemon. Once you open borek squeeze some lemon onto the meet and enjoy.
