Spinach Borekas
Ave. Rating is 3 (2 ratings) Add Your Comments and Ratings

Posted by:  

There are many variations of borekas -- both in the spices and the filling. This one uses nutmeg and fennel to create a tasty boreka! You can also vary this recipe by making the borekas smaller -- these will be about 4 inches long. Make them half as wide and the spinach is less prominent.

These are fine if you enjoy lots of spinach. I would add more salt and maybe mix in some cheese with the spinach.
