Preparation Method for Meat Borek:

Preparing the Dough:

Preparing the Filling:

  1. Heat the vegetable oil and finely chopped onion in a pan over medium heat. Stir for a few moments until the onion softens.

  2. Add the ground meat and stir until it begins to brown. Add salt, black pepper, and the pitted olives, continuing to stir until the mixture is well-combined and the meat is fully cooked. This will be your filling.

  3. Place a portion of the filling in the center of each dough piece, then sprinkle with grated cheese (if desired).

  4. Return the tray to the oven for an additional 10 minutes until the Meat Borek is golden brown and fully cooked.

  5. After baking, transfer the Borek to a serving dish and serve hot to your family or guests, enjoying its delicious taste. Bon appétit!
