About Esfira
Esfira is a flavorful, savory pastry with origins in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, particularly popular in Turkey and Lebanon. Traditionally, it features a soft, doughy crust filled with ingredients like seasoned ground meat, cheese, spinach, or a mix of vegetables. The filling often includes aromatic spices such as cumin, sumac, and paprika, enhancing its rich taste. Esfira can be baked or fried, depending on regional variations and preferences. While it provides protein and nutrients from its filling, Esfira can be high in calories and fat, especially if fried or made with buttery dough. Opting for whole-grain flour and lean meat or plant-based fillings can make it a healthier choice. Additionally, Esfira's small, handheld design makes it a convenient option for snacks or on-the-go meals, offering a delicious and satisfying taste of traditional Middle Eastern comfort food.
