Instructions
- 1

20 min20:00 - 2
Boil the lentils for 18 minutes and drain them, then dice the onion.
18 min18:00 - 3

6 min06:00 - 4
Roll out the dough, grease it, and spread the lentil filling in a thin layer.
- 5
Place the borek in the tray, grease the top, and bake in a 190°C oven for 30 minutes.
30 min30:00 - 6
After removing it from the oven, wait 7 minutes so the layers do not fall apart while cutting.
7 min07:00 - 7
Serve the slices with ayran or pickles; the lentil filling eats fresher that way.
💡 Tip: Using the lentil filling after it has absorbed its liquid keeps the bottom layer drier and more layered.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice and serve warm with ayran.
