Borrecas de Handrajo - Eggplant Borrecas
Borrecas de Handrajo - Eggplant Borrecas are incredibly delicious Sephardic-Turkish hand-held pies made with a stewed eggplant, tomato, and onion filling called Handrajo, which means “old clothes” in the ancient language of Ladino. Once the stewed vegetables were broken down, the filling was said to be reminiscent of old clothes. That delicious eggplant filling is then blanketed by a flaky homemade crust that comes together in a snap, then the hand-held pies are sprinkled with sesame seeds and baked into savory, golden pies that will fill your home with the aromas of grandma’s house, tradition, and pure love!
As always, the tools you'll need and the exact ingredients with their precise measurements are listed right after my introduction in the video.
