  • about 20 dkg of butter (or other fat)

Meal preparation

The meat is chopped or ground. Finely chop the onion. The noodles develop and dry. A little fat is put in the pot and the onion is lightly fried, salted and cooled, then meat, salt and pepper are added and mixed.

The baking pan is greased and covered with one noodle, which is seasoned with melted fat, and then with another noodle, so that a “bottom base” is created. Then the filling is sprinkled evenly, then covered with the third noodle, alternating the filling and noodles several times. Each dumpling is seasoned with melted fat. At the end, two final noodles are placed and each is greased. Burek is baked in the oven, and when baked, it is cut into cubes or rhombuses.
