What it is

The coiled greens pie: whisper-thin dough spiralled with leeks, spinach, cheese or cabbage, baked until crisp — Macedonia's answer to the Balkan burek family, rolled by hand. Ingredients: flour, water, salt, oil (dough); fillings: leeks with cheese, sorrel, spinach, cabbage; oil or butter for brushing. Recipe: 1) Knead and rest dough; roll and stretch paper-thin. 2) Scatter filling; roll up with the tablecloth's help. 3) Coil into a round tin. 4) Bake until shattering. Serve: with yogurt or ayran, at name-days and markets. Flavor: crisp layers, savoury greens. History: zelnik ('the greens one') is the Lenten and everyday pie of Macedonia; grandmothers stretch the kora (sheets) to read-through thinness. See also: Tavče Gravče, Pastrmajlija.
