picnic treat.
“This is a popular börek, especially enjoyed in summer in Turkey, showcasing our beloved patlıcan (aubergine). Fresh, thin yufka sheets are traditionally used at home, although filo pastry works well in this recipe with the ‘meaty’ aubergine filling, making a delicious, satisfying treat. It’s great for entertaining”
