  • Yield: 4 börek 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 rice papers (8.5 inch / 22 cm)
  • 1 oz / 30 g chickpea flour
  • 1 cup / 250 ml unsweetened plant milk

Spinach-Tofu Filling

  • 1.1 lbs / 500 g frozen spinach, defrosted
  • 7 oz / 200 g tofu, crumbled
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp dried dill
  • 2 oz / 60 g shredded vegan cheese
  • salt, pepper

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl (large enough to dip in the rice papers), whisk together chickpea flour and milk. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes until you prepare the filling.
  2. For the filling squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the thawed spinach. You can roughly chop spinach, if the leaves are too large.
  3. Add spinach to a bowl with crumbled tofu, minced garlic, dill, vegan cheese, and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything well together.
  4. Dip a rice paper into the chickpea flour-milk mixture for about 30 seconds, so that it’s covered everywhere and is softened. Repeat with a second rice paper.
  5. Place rice papers next to each other onto a work surface, making sure they are slightly overlapping each other.
  6. Add 1/4 of the spinach-tofu filling, and spread in evenly in the middle.
  7. Roll the rice papers over the filling, then continue rolling until it’s fully rolled up as a log.
  8. Take one end of the log, and roll it onto itself into a spiral.
  9. Add börek to your air-fryer, and spray with a little bit of oil for extra crispiness. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 400°F / 200°C, or until crispy. You can turn them once halfway through baking time for even baking (though they will look a little flat then).
  10. Repeat with the rest of the rice paper and filling.
  11. Alternatively you can also bake your berets in the oven at 400°F / 200°C for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy. Enjoy!
