I’m comfortable to share this scrumptious pie with curled / whirlwind collectible figurines with zucchini, dill, cheese and onion, Kol Boregi, as we name it in Turkish; it has been a giant hit on my on-line cooking lessons recently. We actually loved this filling; has an exquisite pure sweetness from zucchini and onions with the salinity of Turkish beyaz peynir (I really like the creamy beyaz peynir from Pinar Meals UK) or feta cheese, which works so properly with dill. You may as well use spinach, sauteed leeks, kale, Swiss chard as an alternative of zucchini / zucchini.
The trick with sliced desserts is that they need to be saved underneath a barely damp fabric in order that they don’t dry out. Take just one sheet at a time to make the rolled kind for this recipe. I used Jus Roll pastry sheets they usually labored properly.
The combination of milk, eggs and olive oil works like magic to maintain the cake intact because it rolls. If the desserts break, please don’t worry, you possibly can patch the comb with a combination of milk, eggs and olive oil. As soon as baked and cooled, you possibly can minimize this cake into parts and freeze in a sealed bag (in a single layer). You may as well bake it prematurely and warmth it barely at 180 ° C for about 8 minutes.
