Sigara Böreği is a Turkish specialty consisting of brick leaf rolls stuffed with a feta cheese, parsley and onion preparation.

Note

Once you open your package of feta leaves, be sure to use them quickly, otherwise keep a slightly dampened cloth on them to prevent the leaves from drying out.

Sigara Böreği can be prepared in advance and frozen raw before cooking. Just take them out of the freezer and fry them directly before serving.

You can also add other ingredients to the stuffing, such as spinach, ground beef or mushrooms, depending on your preference.
