BUTTERNUT SQUASH STRUDEL / BALKABAKLI BÖREK

Romancing a sweet filling with a savory crust! My grandmother used to cook this special sweet pastry to treat us when I was very young. Its crunchy, savoury outer texture and honey-like soft filling makes it very special. I still miss this aroma from time to time and it is still one of my favourites for Tea Parties and gatherings. This sweet pastry has more than 1000 years of history in Turkish Cuisine. It is still cooked by the people who spread over a wide geography of Eurasia from Hungary to Kazakhstan. Original recipe calls for a white-skinned Anatolian Pumpkin. I used Butternut Squash and sweet potatoes instead, as I find their taste and texture to be quite similar. Treat your palate with this surprising taste… Beware, it is addictive!
