There are several receipes to Borek.  I will describe the traditional
Arabic version:

1lb finely ground beef
1 medium-size onions
A little finely chopped parsley
2 tablespoons all-spice
1 teaspoon black pepper
salt to taste
1 pack frozen filo

Take the filo package and thaw it according to directions.  Meanwhile,
chop the onions finely, mix all the spices with the parsley and the
meat.  Add the onion and cook over medium heat.  When it is done, take
each sheet of the filo, cut it into abput 12 pieces, put some meat in
the centre of each piece and fold it.  Leave it on a wax sheet while
you are preparing the rest.  It is recommended that you deep-fry it as
soon as you are done, or freeze it.

Enjoy
