Mushroom Phyllo Strudel Recipes

WILD MUSHROOM STRUDEL

Steps:

• Clean the mushrooms and slice any large ones into pieces no larger than of an inch. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil and add the mushrooms, onion and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms have released all their liquid and are lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add the wine and thyme and cook until the wine has evaporated. Remove from the heat and transfer the mushrooms to a bowl. When the mushrooms are cool, stir in the cheese, parsley and 3 tablespoons of the bread crumbs. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. On a work surface, brush one of the sheets of phyllo with melted butter and dust with the remaining crumbs. Top with the second piece of phyllo and brush again with butter. Spoon the mushroom mixture down the short end of the phyllo, leaving it about 2 inches from the edge. Fold the dough over the edge and continue rolling, encasing the filling in the phyllo.
• Brush the strudel with more butter and lightly butter a baking sheet. Carefully transfer the strudel to the sheet and bake until golden brown and crispy, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Remove the strudel from the oven and allow to cool 5 minutes. Trim the ends if they are overly browned and frayed. Slice the strudel and serve with field greens dressed with a tart vinaigrette.

MUSHROOM PHYLLO STRUDEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Saute mushrooms in butter and olive oil till well-softened.
• Add sherry, thyme, cream, and salt/pepper and cook till thickened.
• Lay out the phyllo sheets, brushing each sheet with melted butter.
• Cut in half so you have two equal rectangles.
• Spread half the mushroom mixture over one of your phyllo rectangles, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
• Fold the short side edges over the mushroom mixture and then roll the whole thing lengthwise so you have a long, fat cylinder with no mushroom filling poking out.
• Repeat with remaining mushroom mixture and the other rectangle.
• Place rectangles side-by side, seam-side down, on a baking sheet, and bake in oven 20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Let rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
• **Alternate preparation: Using two phyllo sheets at a time, cut into 6-8 strips and prepare as you would for spanakopita, folding each strip into a triangle.
• Use a Tbsp
• of the mushroom filling for each one.

SAUSAGE & MUSHROOM STRUDELS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• If either of the sausage meats is coarsely ground, place the meat in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse until the meat is finely ground.
• Heat 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large (12-inch) sauté pan, add the onion and cook for 4 to 6 minutes over medium heat, until tender but not browned. Add all the sausage meat and mash with a fork, breaking it up and browning it, for 5 to 7 minutes, until no longer pink.
• Meanwhile, prep the mushrooms. Without washing the mushrooms, wipe the caps with a slightly damp paper towel or sponge to remove any dirt. Trim the stems, then roughly chop the caps and stems. Add the mushrooms, fennel seeds, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper to the sausage and cook for 10 minutes, until the mushrooms give off their liquid and the liquid evaporates. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes. Stir in the mascarpone and the fresh bread crumbs and season to taste. The seasoning will depend on how highly seasoned the sausage meat is.
• Melt the remaining 12 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan. Unfold the phyllo dough and keep it covered with a slightly damp (not wet!) kitchen towel. Transfer one sheet of phyllo to a board, brush it lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with a teaspoon of dry bread crumbs. Place a second sheet of phyllo directly on top, brush with butter and sprinkle with dry bread crumbs; repeat until you have 5 sheets piled up. With the long edge of the stack of phyllo facing you, make a 1-inch strip of sausage filling (about 1/3 of the filling) near the bottom edge. Fold up the sides and roll the phyllo firmly up and over, rolling the log away from you. Transfer the log, seam side down, to the prepared sheet pan. Brush with butter and score diagonally at 1-inch intervals. Make two more strudel logs and place them on the sheet pan.
• Bake the strudels for 20 to 30 minutes, rotating the pan once to cook evenly, until browned. Cool slightly, cut in pieces through the scored lines and serve warm.

MUSHROOM STRUDEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Mince mushrooms and squeeze them dry in the corner of a towel.
• Sauté with minced shallots or green onions in butter and oil over moderately high heat, stirring frequently. Cook until pieces separate and the liquid has evaporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Blend in cream cheese.
• Spread a sheet of strudel or filo dough on a damp towel, narrow end toward you. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle on bread crumbs. Repeat with second and third sheets, stacking them on top of the first sheet, then butter, but do not crumb fourth sheet. Put half the mushroom mixture on narrower edge of the dough, leaving a 2- to 3-inch border at the sides. Fold in the sides, then, using the edge of the towel, roll. Prepare the second strudel.
• Put strudels on buttered baking sheet and brush with melted butter. Bake in oven until brown (about 20 minutes). The strudel cuts easily with shears. Strudel can be made and baked ahead, stored in the refrigerator or in the freezer overnight, and then reheated.

MUSHROOM STRUDEL

Steps:

• Soak porcini in boiling-hot water in a small bowl until softened, about 10 minutes. Lift out porcini and squeeze excess liquid back into bowl. Rinse porcini well to remove any grit. Strain soaking liquid through a sieve lined with a dampened paper towel into another bowl and reserve.
• Pulse porcini and white mushrooms in a food processor until finely chopped (but not minced).
• Cook shallots in butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring, until beginning to soften, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms, reserved soaking liquid, wine, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Stir in parsley, then spread filling on a plate and chill, uncovered, until cold, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.
• While filling chills, put stack of phyllo sheets on a work surface and cut in half crosswise, then stack halves and cover with plastic wrap. Remove 1 phyllo sheet from stack (keep remaining sheets covered) and arrange with a long side nearest you, then lightly brush with some duck fat. Top with another phyllo sheet and brush with fat. Spread about one fourth of mushroom filling in a narrow strip along edge nearest you to within 1/4 inch of each end, then roll up phyllo tightly around filling, leaving ends open. Transfer roll, seam side down, to a baking sheet and make 3 more rolls in same manner, transferring to baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Cool slightly on baking sheet on a rack, then brush length of each roll with a very thin line of truffle oil (if using) with tip of a cotton swab. Gently cut each roll crosswise into 8 pieces with serrated knife. Serve strudel warm or at room temperature.
