Turkish Borecks (Sigara Boregi) at The Red Hill Agricultural show

It was great fun rolling these Borecks with volunteers from the audience they did an awesome job & learnt a new skill!

Borecks can be filled with either fried lamb mince from www.woolumbi.com  and dried mint, enough to give it that real Turkish taste or potato & red onion from www.brf.com.au at the Red Hill show yesterday I filled the borecks with potato & red onion & the other with Feta from www.redhillcheese.com.au & fresh chopped parsley from www.brf.com.au both very popular!

Here is the recipe for the Feta & parsley Borecks I hope you enjoy making them X
