Chebureki[lower-alpha 1] are deep-fried turnovers with a filling of ground or minced meat and onions.[2] They are made with a single round piece of dough folded over the filling in a crescent shape.[3]

Chebureki is a national dish of Crimean Tatar cuisine.[1] They are popular as snack and street food throughout the Caucasus, West Asia, Central Asia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine, Russia, Eastern Europe,[1][3] as well as in Turkey[4] and Romania.

Preparation

A cheburek is a half-round-shaped börek, filled with a very thin layer of ground beef or lamb which has been seasoned with ground onion and black pepper. The meat is layered thinly enough that it will cook fully when the sealed half-moon pocket is fried in sunflower oil or corn oil. The dough, made from flour, salt, and water, is soft and pliable, but not sticky. The dough is separated into small balls and each is rolled out with a thin rolling pin. Additional flour is added only as needed to prevent the dough from sticking.[5][6]

Variations

Cheburek is called Çibörek ("çiğ" meaning "raw" and "börek"- pastry in Turkish language). It is very popular, especially in Eskişehir.[4]
