Meat Pie Without Crust (Pita sa Mesom Bez Kora)

From a video by Mala Brza Kuhinjica / Little Quick Kitchen · 5 min watch

A quick and easy meat pie made with a simple yogurt-egg batter instead of traditional phyllo dough. The savory minced meat filling is seasoned simply and baked between layers of thick batter for a soft, juicy result similar to burek.

Ingredients

Ingredients scaled to 6 servings
  • onion, chopped
  • leek, chopped
  • oil, very hot
  • salt, to taste
  • 300 g minced pork
  • 1 teaspoon garlic pepper seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 60 ml water
  • 300 ml yogurt
  • salt
  • 3 egg
  • 180 g flour
  • baking powder
  • sesame seeds

Preparation

  1. Step 1
    Chop one onion and one leek (or use just onion).
  2. Step 2
    In very hot oil, add the chopped onion and leek and sauté for a minute.
  3. Step 3
    Add a spoonful of salt (or to taste) and about 300 g minced pork (or meat of choice).
  4. Step 4
    Season with 1 tsp garlic pepper seasoning and 1 tsp ground pepper. Mix well over high heat.
  5. Step 5 · 10 minutes
    Pour in 60 ml water, then simmer on high heat for 10 minutes.
  6. Step 6
    Meanwhile prepare the crust mixture: combine 300 ml yogurt with a little salt and 3 whole eggs.
  7. Step 7
    Whisk everything well to combine.
  8. Step 8
    Add 180 g flour and a little baking powder, then mix until smooth. The batter should be fairly thick (add 1 extra spoonful of flour if needed based on yogurt or egg size).
  9. Step 9
    Line a 20x30 cm pan with wet baking paper. Pour in more than half of the batter, leaving a little in the bowl.
  10. Step 10
    After 10 minutes of simmering, the meat should be fragrant and have absorbed the spices. Spread the meat mixture evenly over the batter in the pan using a fork.
  11. Step 11
    Pour the remaining batter over the meat and spread it evenly to cover.
  12. Step 12
    Optionally sprinkle a little sesame seeds on top.
  13. Step 13 · 180°C / 356°F · 30 minutes
    Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 30 minutes until golden brown on top.
  14. Step 14
    Remove from oven, turn over, cut into portions and serve. The pie is soft, juicy and reminiscent of burek with meat.
