My boyfriends younger brother is having his 21st birthday so I've said I would help with the cooking. Last night they called me and said that the aunt making borek won't be able to go out and buy the ingredients and make it - my big mouth steps in - I offer to make it as well as the filo rolls I'm already making...
So here I am in an awkward predicament simply because I don't know how to make borek and yet I am the one they are relying on to make it....
Thankfully this is where the internet and good friends step in.
After a quick pop round to the nearest Turkish shop to get ingredients and a short browse on the internet me and my friend have managed to make a spinach and feta cheese borek (a lighter version of a lasagna made with pastry instead of pasta), which tastes pretty good if I must say so myself...
Here's a little snap of the borek I made earlier (I sound like a Blue Peter presenter)
The sunshine in my day is my best friend stepping in to help me after my big mouth put me in a tight spot. Good friends are sometimes hard to find but when you have good friends, show them appreciation and love.
P.s. Thank you to Iffet and her blog http://myturkishkitchen.blogspot.com/2010/12/ispanakli-borek.html for the recipe...it made me smile when I googled a recipe and ended up on blogger. What a coincidence.
Lots of love x
