Instructions

  1. Cut the cabbage into thin strips, finely dice the onion and finely dice the garlic.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil in a deep pan, just add the cabbage and briefly toast it with turmeric, cumin, salt and pepper, then pour in approx. 100 ml of water and cook until al dente (if necessary, add a little more water, but it should be on It will have evaporated at the end.) Take the cabbage out of the pan and set it aside.
  3. Wipe out the pan, heat 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil, briefly fry the onions and garlic, then add the minced meat and fry. Add tomato paste and mustard, roast briefly, season with the spices (except turmeric, and sugar only if the tomato taste seems too sour) and continue frying. Pour in some water if necessary so that it does not burn. The mass should not be dry at the end, but also not too moist. Mix in the cabbage and let everything cool down a bit.
  4. Preheat the oven to 200 ° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Place 2 sheets of pastry on top of each other, moisten the edges (also of the lower sheet) with water. Now distribute the filling in the front area in an elongated manner, leaving a wide margin free. Fold the dough in on three sides and roll it towards the end like a roulade. Brush the finished Börek on all sides with olive oil and carefully place on the baking sheet. Bake on the rack over the middle for about 20 minutes until crispy and golden brown. (Keep an eye on the Börek and, if necessary, lower the baking sheet a little in between.) Serve with Turkish yoghurt.
  6. Tip: The amounts given are sufficient for two slightly smaller Böreks. If you only make one, you can either serve the rest of the filling as a side dish, or you can only use 400 g of the minced meat and cabbage for a really large börek.
