Easy Borek With Ground Beef
So far I've shared so many easy borek recipes. The logic of all tis almost same. You mix yufkas with sauce and spread it into the baking dish without trying to give any shape as crunchy borek and spread the filling inbetween the yufka mixture. Easy borek with zucchini is one of the best example of this. I applied the same logic to easy borek with ground beef also.
In Turkish cuisine ground beef borek recipes are generally made just with onions and ground beef. In this recipe I added ground walnuts and currants. You can choose not to use those but I think you should:)
Can I prepare it the night before and cook in the morning?
One of the most common questions about borek recipes is is it possible to make the borek at night and cook it in the morning. People generally ask it for the consistency, I mean if the consistency would be ok if set aside uncooked for hours. I prefer to take health into consideration rather than the consistency. Can two of the most speculative ingredients, meat and eggs, for food safety be convenient to be kept together for this long? Yes it can, but also it may not be. If you want to take this risk, you can prepare the borek, set aside in the fridge overnight and cook in the morning.
