How to make Spinach Bourekas
Spinach Bourekas - light, flaky pastries with a delectable feta cheese filling. Recipe courtesy of Leah Koenig - “The Jewish Cookbook”. Do yourself a favor, try making these! They’re delicious!
RECIPE:
Spinach Bourekas
Makes 18 bourekas
For the filling:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
10 ounces thawed frozen spinach, squeezed dry and roughly chopped
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 garlic clove, minced or pushed through a press
½ teaspoon dried dill
½ cup ricotta cheese
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
For assembly and baking:
Flour, for dusting
2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
Egg wash: 1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon water
Sesame seeds, for sprinkling
To make the filling:
In a small frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool.
Transfer the cooked onion to a bowl; add the spinach, egg, garlic, dill, ricotta, feta, salt and pepper; mix well.
Assembly and bake the turnovers:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out 1 sheet of puff pastry into a 12-inch square, trimming any ragged edges. Cut the square of pastry into nine 4-inch squares. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the spinach filling near one corner of each square and use your fingers or the back of the spoon to lightly flatten. Fold the opposite corner over to meet it, making a triangle and locking the filling inside. Press firmly all along the edges to seal, lightly wetting fingers with water, if necessary. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry and remaining filling.
Lay the filled bourekas on the baking sheets. Brush the tops with egg wash (you may not use all of it) and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Set the baking sheets on wire racks to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

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!
