Boreks are baked pastry pies, very common in the Middle East, but also in the Balkans, and the Mediterranean area. The fillings are very diverse, ranging from ground meats to sweet fillings, like vanilla or orange. Here, we've made an Arabic version with some ground beef, parsley, and onion as filling.
