Kale Turkish Börek

  1. Wash and coarsely chop the kale; spin in a salad spinner or use some other method to remove as much water as you can.
  2. Chop and sautee the onions with olive oil; add garlic if you like; once wilted, add the spices and continue to sautee until the flavours have nicely distributed themselves throughout. Remove excess water.
  3. In a small bowl, mix a cup of plain yogurt and 1tbsp of olive oil. Brush onto 1 sheet of yufka, folded in half to make a half-circle.
  4. With the straight edge of the half circle closest to you, make a 2-cm-thick "line" of cooked kale all along that straight edge. Roll the yufka up until you have a "snake," then curl the snake into itself, making a rough "snail" type shape. Place on oiled baking sheet; I often use a spatula so that it doesn't fall apart. Repeat with remaining 2 sheets of yufka and kale.
  5. In another small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and a dash of olive oil; brush onto surface of rolled up "snails" on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with black cumin seeds and bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes, at 175 degrees Fahrenheit. Best served warm, cut into thirds or quarters.
