Frequently Asked Questions About Minced Meat Börek with Peanuts and Currants
What is Minced Meat Börek with Peanuts and Currants?

How do you make Minced Meat Börek with Peanuts and Currants?
To make Minced Meat Börek with Peanuts and Currants, cook the minced meat with onion until its moisture evaporates, then let it cool before mixing in currants and peanuts. Wrap the filling in thin pastry, brush the outside with oil, and bake until golden.
Can you use raisins instead of currants in Minced Meat Börek with Peanuts and Currants?
