Asparagus and Feta filled Sigara Boregi

The cigarrette pastry is often gilled with feta and spinach. I have some green asparagus left over from the weekend. Why not use this?



The yufka dough package was opened yesterday. I only used two sheets. This dough dries out very quickly and sticking it open in the fridge for longer than one day is not an option. It gets brittle and working with it is impossible then.



I have not made this sigara pastry for a very long time. 



I cooked 6 stalks of green asparagus in the steamer and let it cool down.

Recipe for 9 pieces:

150 g sheep feta, 1 clove of garlic

6 green asparagus cooked, 1 egg

Salt, pepper, oregano, chili salt

Butter melted, 2 round yufka dough leaves, oil for shallow frying

Chop the cooked asparagus in little pieces, mince the garlic and mix everything with the seasoning together.



Melt the butter and cut the yufka in12 cm wide strips. Place 2 tbsp of filling on one end, brush some melted butter around the edges and roll up. Close with more butter. Brush them on top with butter too.



Heat up the oil in a pan and in two or three batches brown them from all sides. Keep watch, they will turn brown quickly.

Serve with somr Ayran drink.
