Sigara Boregii (Spring roll borek)

Wanna have cigars ?? No No, I dont mean smoke-smoke. I mean eat them Well these are definitely without caffeine

This is another recipe to be cooked using the spring roll sheets available in Turkish/Arabic/American and of course Chinese stores

Today Emine made this for AyseGul’s baby shower. Emine has a beautiful daughter Filis (I hope I spelled her name right) and Emine is a Nurse in Turkey, what a noble profession!
Ingredients:

1 packet of Yukfa (Spring roll sheets, thawed)
filling options: feta/turkish cheese with parsley, or meat with spices, or potatoes and spices
oil for frying

Method:

Work with one sheet at a time. Start with one corner, and put a little filling across it. Then roll it a couple times, then roll from the two opposite sides one time, more like fold in the corners (to seal off the ends). Then continuing rolling it till it resembles a cigar To seal the fourth end, you may use oil or water. Just a little bit.

Finally when all are done assembling, shallow fry them in hot oil, first the first side, then flip when its golden brown, then the second side.

Thats it, take them out, and lay them on paper towel to absorb excess oil. Done!!!!

Try this, and tell me how it goes! I will wait for your feedback and suggestions
