Recently we had one of our favourite plant-based chefs Phitzee (Philip Zee) in the studio to cook a dish he loved growing up. Burekas are a clever vegan twist on the Turkish pastry staple, Burek. These bad boys are a popular pastry in southern Europe, northern Africa and the Middle East - and are absolutely delicious. Burekas come in a wide variety of shapes and with all sorts of fillings - but Phitzee's are packed full of spinach, tofu and vegan mozzarella for that perfect cheesy consistency. Yum.
