Burek with Meat and Potatoes is a savory pastry originating from the Balkans, widely enjoyed across Southeast Europe and Turkey. This traditional dish features thin layers of dough filled with ground meat, typically beef or lamb, and diced potatoes, seasoned with spices like pepper and onion for robust flavor. The filling is wrapped or folded into shapes and baked to a golden, flaky perfection. While rich in carbohydrates and protein, thanks to its pastry and meat base, Burek can be high in saturated fats due to the use of butter or oil in the dough. Potatoes contribute fiber and essential nutrients, making it a hearty, energy-packed meal. However, portion control is recommended to balance its calorie density. Though not inherently light, this Balkan comfort food delivers warmth, flavor, and cultural history in every bite.
