Ingredients:

3 tablespoons corn oil

2 cloves garlic

1 large dry onion

hot chili powder, to taste

1 tablespoon salt

nigella seeds or black seeds for the filling

1 kilo spinach

1/2 kilo feta cheese

nigella seeds and toasted sesame seeds for garnish

baklava dough

For brushing the dough

1 egg

4 tablespoons oil

1/2 cup milk

Method:

Put the finely chopped onion and garlic in a little oil in a pan and sauté lightly until softened. Add the nigella seeds and chili powder, then add the finely chopped, washed, and well-drained spinach.

Stir the filling until wilted. Remove the berek filling from the heat, then add the feta cheese and mix well.

Roll out the baklava dough on a work surface or countertop and brush it with a mixture of the egg, oil, and milk.

Spread the spinach and cheese berek filling along the length of the baklava sheet and roll it up lengthwise. Roll the long rope-like dough inward to form a large spiral circle.

Brush the top of the dough with oil and garnish with nigella seeds and sesame seeds. Place the spinach and cheese berek in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius. Once the berek is browned on the bottom, brown the top as well.
