This Turkish street food is a savory pastry that is made from a phyllo dough. It was first brought to Turkey by European herders hundreds of years ago. It’s a mix between lasagna and pie.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb phyllo dough, thawed
  • 2 cups of part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups of feta cheese
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1 bunch of minced parsley
  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 ½ liters of mineral water

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and oil your baking pan (16-inch round or 9 x 13”).
  • Combine onion, cheese, parsley, and one egg and mix until smooth.
  • Spread a sheet of phyllo dough out and brush with olive oil. Layer to your liking.
  • Spread cheese mixture.
  • Roll up from the long side and coil the roll.
  • Repeat the steps with the dough and cheese continuously as you’re making one spiral.
  • Beat the remaining eggs and pour over the rolls.
  • Pour the mineral oil over that and put it in the oven to bake for about 30 minutes or until the top is crisp and golden brown.
