KOLAY SU BÖREĞİ

EASY WATER BOREK

Water borek is so delicious but it is not so easy to make . I don't have the original recipe for Water Borek on my blog. I guess I am not that brave to try it yet :) In order to make the original one; you should make your own dough, roll up the fillos and boil them. It is not that easy, isn't it?

After tasting this "Easy Water Borek" at my friend Esra's house, I got the recipe and tried it. I am so glad that I have the recipe now. I don't need to do all the hard work to bake this wonderful borek.

Thanks Esra...

• 6 Turkish fillo pastry
• 4 eggs
• 2 cups of milk
• 2 cups of water
• 1 cup of sunflower oil

Filling:

• 1 chicken breasts
• 1 carrots ( shredded )
• 1 onion ( chopped )
• 2 tbsp of sunflower oil
• 1/3 tsp of black pepper
• salt

Wash and drain chicken breast. Take it in a pressure cooker and add 3 cups of cold water. Bring it to the boil. You will see some foam on the surface when it starts to boil. Take them all with a spoon and discard. Close the lid of pressure cooker and turn the heat down to low. Cook the chicken for 5 minutes at low heat. Take the pressure cooker and let it cool. Open the lid when it is cool enough and take the chicken out. ( You could use the broth for soup or rice) Cut them into small pieces.

In a large pot, take  sunflower oil add chopped onion and carrot. Stir and cook until onion is tender. Add chicken and stir. Add black pepper and salt. Turn the heat off.

For the sauce; take eggs, milk, water and sunflower oil in large mixing bowl and whisk.

Brush bottom and sides of a 13 by 17-inch baking tray with sunflower oil. Layer the first sheet. Cut the edges of this first sheet if it is hanging over the tray and use them for the next step. Roll the second and third sheet and cut them into 3 inch pieces. Dip these pieces into sauce and lay them side by side until they cover all over the surface. Spoon 1/2 of the sauce over entire surface. Spread the filling all over covering the whole surface.Rool the forth and fifth sheets and do the same thing as the second and third sheets. Cover it with the last sheet. Make some holes on this last sheet and spoon the remaining sauce all over.
Preheat the oven 350F and bake it until golden brown.
