Burekas

__NOTOC__
== Description ==
This is a Jewish Sephardic dish which is quite similar to the Turkish "börek." Burekas can be prepared with various types of dough: strudel dough (thin leaves), rising dough or with types of prepared dough found in the market. This is a dish served on festive occasions, but also widely sold on Israeli street corners. To be tasty, it must be served hot and fresh.
