Ingredients

• 1 package gluten-free phyllo dough
• 500 grams ground beef
• 1 large onion
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cumin
• 1 large egg
• 50 grams butter
• 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley
• 1 tablespoon gluten-free flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F).

Step 2

Finely chop the onion.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 8 minutes.

Step 6

Season the cooked beef with salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 8

In a small bowl, beat the egg and set aside.

Step 9

Brush a baking sheet with olive oil.

Step 10

Carefully unroll the gluten-free phyllo dough. Place one sheet on the prepared baking sheet, brushing lightly with melted butter.

Step 11

Repeat the layering process with 4 more sheets of phyllo, brushing each with butter.

Step 12

Spread the meat mixture evenly onto the top phyllo sheet.

Step 13

Cover the meat mixture with 5 more phyllo sheets, brushing each layer with butter as before.

Step 14

Using a sharp knife, score the top layer of phyllo into a diamond or square pattern, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 15

Brush the top with the beaten egg to create a shiny glaze.

Step 16

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crisp.

Step 17

Remove the burek from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before cutting.

Step 18

Serve warm and enjoy this traditional delicacy with a gluten-free twist.
