What is Spinach börek (no cheese)?
Spinach börek (no cheese) is a savoury Turkish pastry made by wrapping or layering spinach, often seasoned with onion and herbs, in thin sheets of dough. Börek has roots in the wider Ottoman culinary tradition and is a familiar bake in Turkish homes and bakeries; this version relies on the greens rather than a cheese filling.
The pastry is crisp and golden outside, with a soft, savoury centre. In Turkey it is commonly served warm for breakfast or alongside tea, and it also works as a snack or light meal; elsewhere, enjoy it with yoghurt, a simple salad or soup. It is filling, with most of its energy coming from the dough and added oil, and provides 2.3 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter meal, pair a moderate portion with fresh vegetables.
