Frequently Asked Questions About Fried spinach paçanga börek
What is fried spinach paçanga börek?

What goes into fried spinach paçanga börek?
Fried spinach paçanga börek is usually made with thin yufka or pastry sheets, spinach, and a melting cheese such as kaşar. Some recipes add pastırma or vegetables, so the filling is not identical everywhere.
How is fried spinach paçanga börek different from regular paçanga börek?

How do you stop fried spinach paçanga börek from opening while frying?

Should you cook spinach before filling fried spinach paçanga börek?
Lightly sautéing spinach and squeezing or draining off excess liquid helps keep fried spinach paçanga börek crisp. Raw spinach can be used, but it releases moisture as it cooks and may soften the pastry or loosen the roll.
Can you make fried spinach paçanga börek in an air fryer or oven?

Can you make fried spinach paçanga börek ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble fried spinach paçanga börek ahead and refrigerate it briefly before cooking. Keep the rolls covered and the filling drained; for longer storage, freeze them uncooked so the pastry does not turn soggy.
How long does fried spinach paçanga börek keep in the fridge?
