A practical leek börek with no dough to roll: everything is stirred together in one bowl and baked. Corn flour replaces wheat flour, and the flavor lands somewhere between a potato börek and gözleme. A thrifty option for dinner or an afternoon tea table.
Method
Preheat the oven to 180–200 °C.
Thinly slice the leek and chop the parsley and dill.
Combine the leek, yogurt, corn flour, eggs, herbs, salt, black pepper and olive oil in a large bowl.
Mix until evenly combined.
Line a baking dish with baking paper and spread the mixture in it.
Bake until golden on top.

Tips
- Slice the leek thinly so it cooks faster and turns soft.
- Greasing the dish alone may not stop it sticking, so use baking paper.
- No oven? You can cook the same mixture in a frying pan.
