For more photos and recipe notes (including a vegetarian version), visit <a href="https://www.cardamomandtea.com/blog/2017/3/1burek">Cardamom and Tea</a>. Whenever someone immigrates, gets engaged or married, or visits from out of town, my Nana celebrates the occasion by frying up a big plate of burek, which she usually serves unceremoniously on a plate lined with paper towels, since everyone is always lurking around the stove waiting for her to lift them out of the deep fryer. Burek doesn't need to be served on fine china, dressed up with a fancy presentation, or served with a clever assortment of dipping sauces in order to be celebratory. It's just inherently so! And if you make these for your next party, they will be the first thing to go (seriously, even if you triple the recipe), so make sure you save yourself a few in the back of the refrigerator, because they're also fabulous left over (it's a very cold-leftover-pizza experience).
