Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
• Thinly slice cucumber into half-moons.
• Finely chop onion and garlic. 

Make the filling
2

• Return large frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook pork mince and onion, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. • Add tomato paste, Middle Eastern seasoning, currants and half the garlic, then cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, add the water, then simmer until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. TIP: Add a splash of water if the filling looks dry.

Assemble the borek
3

• Lay a filo sheet on a dry surface and brush with olive oil. Top with another filo sheet. Repeat with remaining sheets to make 2 stacks (you'll have 1 sheet of filo left over!). • Divide pork filling mixture along the long edge of the filo stacks. Roll the filo to enclose filling, making 2 logs. • Put a log on a lined oven tray and curl to form a snail. Repeat with remaining filo log. • Brush with olive oil and bake for 20 minutes, until golden and crisp.

Make the garlic yoghurt
4

• Meanwhile, wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook remaining garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. • Transfer garlic oil to a small bowl, then add Greek-style yoghurt and stir to combine. Season to taste.

Make the salad
5

• In a medium bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, 
cucumber and a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. 
Season to taste. 

Finish & serve
6

• Divide pork börek filos and cucumber salad 
between plates.
