BUREK

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Brown ground beef in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain fat; stir in allspice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Transfer beef to a large bowl and stir in potato and onion.
• Unroll phyllo pastry and transfer 2 sheets to a work surface; stack sheets. Spoon 1/8th of the ground beef mixture down one long edge of the phyllo pastry. Roll phyllo into a tube, encasing beef. Shape the tube into a coil (snail shape). Place the roll on an ungreased baking sheet; brush with melted butter. Repeat, placing finished rolls up against one another to keep them from unrolling.
• Bake burek in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.

BUREK

Steps:

• Put some butter in a pan and melt it on the stove. Put the meat in and stir a little bit. Put the pepper paste (or tomato sauce) and stir it until the meat turns brown. Let it cool for a little bit. Put the parsley when it's cooled down. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Mix the eggs, milk, oil and water together. Put one phyllo on an oiled tray, and put some of the mixed eggs/milks. (The objective is not to leave dry spots) Put another phyllo and repeat the process for two more times. (This makes three phyllos at the bottom). Put the filling on the last phyllo. Put the last three phyllos with the mixture in between. Leave some mixture for the top. Put the yogurt on the mixture and spill it on the top. Bake it in the oven for 30-40 minutes until the top is golden and crusty.
