This is a very widespread snack in the Balkans. I've eaten this in Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia and Bosnia - Turkey has got something similar too.

Ingredients

  • For the pastry:
  • 500g (1 1/4 lb) plain flour
  • 25g (1 oz) butter, melted
  • salt
  • warm water
  • For the filling:
  • 500g (1 1/4 lb) minced veal
  • 225g (8 oz) beef mince
  • 4 onions, minced
  • 25g (1 oz) butter
  • 2 egg yolks
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preparation method

  1.   Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas mark 4.
  2.   Mix melted butter into the flour, salt and warm water to create a ball of dough. Cut it into 4 parts.
  3.   To prepare the filling, warm the butter and mix it with the meat, onions, yolks and salt and pepper.
  4.   Make a sheet of pastry out of a dough piece and lay it on your table, leaving it to dry for a few minutes.
  5.   Brush the pastry with oil or melted butter, put one fourth of the filling on one side of the sheet and roll it until you get a long roll.
  6.   Get an oven dish and lay the roll you have just got in the shape of a spiral, starting from the middle of the dish. Then, bake for about 30 minutes in the preheated oven.
