Step by Step guide
Step 1
In a large bowl, sift the wheat flour, shape it into a mound, and make a well in the center.
Step 2
In this well, add salt, eggs, pour in a little water, and knead a stiff dough.
Step 3
Roll out the dough into a thin layer about 0.3 cm thick and use a special cutter or glass to cut out circles 5–6 cm in diameter, dusting them with flour.
Step 4
The dough can also be cut into rectangular pieces.
Step 5
Pass the beef and onion through a meat grinder and mix with salt, pepper, and chopped parsley, then sauté in oil.
Step 6
Place a little meat filling on each circle of dough and pinch the edges so that the filling is visible in the center.
Step 7
Place the prepared borek (dumplings) in a pot, pour in a little broth, cover with a lid, and simmer over low heat until cooked.
Step 8
Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon, let the broth drain, transfer to a pan with heated oil, and fry until golden brown.
Step 9
Serve the borek hot, with matsun (matsuni) mixed with crushed garlic served separately.
