This is the best recipe for fast burek made with phyllo layers - simple, homemade, delicious, and very close to the bakery version we all love. I’ve already shared the same recipe with spinach and cheese, but many of you asked how I prepare the minced-meat filling, so here it is - my full version.

For the best result, use quality phyllo dough for pies and, if possible, a non-stick baking pan.

Pine has long been used in folk medicine to treat the airways, as well as to treat coughs and lung diseases.

The healing properties of the pine tree can be used all year round, and it is best to collect and use the cones while they are young and large up to 5 cm, because as they grow they lose their healing properties and become woody. May is the best month for picking young cones (in Macedonia).

While young, cones are rich in vitamin C, which is unfortunately lost through heat treatment, but also contain essential oils, healing resin and many antioxidants that are preserved, and the overall action on the body is alkaline, which reduces the body's acidity with regular use.

While I was making the syrup, my home smelled like I was in the middle of a huge pine forest.

Young green walnuts in honey - amazing cure for many health conditions. This is a recipe that is very old and it's been prepared in my family for many years. My grandma used to make it, than my mom and now me. My mom used to give us 1 tbs in the morning every day when we were kids. We all had problems with sore throats and tonsillitis and this helped a lot. It saved me from removing my tonsils when I was a kid.

And now is the perfect time to pick some young green walnuts if available where you live.
