Börekitas: From Istanbul to London


Have you heard of Börekitas? If not, you're in for a treat! Borekitas are a delicious Sephardic pastry originally from Turkey. They're a flaky, crispy pastry that can be filled with various ingredients, like roasted eggplant and feta cheese. Börekitas are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed anytime – for breakfast, as a snack, or even paired with a salad or soup for a light meal.

The recipe for Börekitas has been passed down from generation to generation within Sephardic Jewish families, with each family adding their unique touch. I was lucky to learn it from a wonderful grandmother named Madame Eti in Istanbul, Turkey. She graciously shared all her tips and tricks, ensuring that each Börekitas is baked to perfection, just like her mother taught her.

Today, you can indulge in these beautiful flaky pastries with delicious fillings. Filled with roasted eggplant and feta, they offer a burst of flavor that will leave you saying "wowza" in the most genuine way possible.
