Why Burekas deserves more attention

Burekas rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The sesame-rich and nutty complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using pomegranate seeds correctly takes real skill.

Shabbat and holiday meals follow religious traditions that shape the food served. I encountered it first in a Shabbat family dinner and that context helped me understand it properly. fresh orange juice is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Burekas is the dish to start with.
