Bureek Tajin | Traditional Savory Pie From Libya, Maghreb | TasteAtlas

Bureek tajin

(رقاق باللحم المفروم, Suniyet ruqaq)

Bureek tajin is a savory Libyan meat pie consisting of two layers of thin dough with a ground meat filling sandwiched in between. The filling is usually made with ground meat, onions, and flavorings such as parsley, nutmeg, and hararat mixed spices.


This flavorful pie is typically served as a side dish, and it is especially popular during Ramadan, when it is served as an accompaniment to various soups. If there are any leftovers, they make for a great snack or a light meal the following day.
