WILD MUSHROOM STRUDEL

Steps:

• For the mushrooms: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Stir together cremini and oyster mushrooms, sherry, oil, thyme, dill and some salt and pepper in a roasting pan, then roast for 10 minutes. Allow to cool. Remove and discard herb stems.
• For the filling: Sweat carrots, fennel, onions and celery in oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-low heat until soft. Turn off heat and add goat cheese to melt. Transfer to a half-sheet pan to cool.
• For the strudel: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 3 sheet pans with parchment and spray with nonstick spray. (Each strudel must be rolled and baked on its own sheet pan.)
• Mix mushrooms together with the veggies in a large bowl.
• Lay each sheet of pastry on a lined sheet pan.
• Brush the border of each pastry with egg wash, then sprinkle panko in a line down the center of the pastry. Spoon a third of the filling in a line on top of the panko, then sprinkle more panko on top to absorb excess liquid.
• Roll up tightly (like a burrito) and lay seam-side down. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with dill, salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling.
• Bake for 10 minutes, then switch and rotate the sheet pans and bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Cool, then cut into 1/2-inch slices.

MUSHROOM STRUDEL

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil. Add shallots and garlic, and soften. Add sliced mushrooms.
• Season with salt and pepper, and cook over low heat until tender. If juices exude, raise the heat, and cook until they evaporate.
• Stir in 3/4 of herbs and remove from heat. Spread mushrooms on a pan to dry, and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• When dry and cool, transfer mushrooms to a large bowl, and combine with whole egg-egg yolk mixture.
• Move rack to middle of oven, and heat to 400 F.
• Place puff pastry on a parchment-lined baking pan. Roll to remove any creases and to elongate slightly. Brush the surface with egg wash, and sprinkle on remaining herbs.
• Spread mushrooms evenly over first 3/4 of pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around edges.
• Flip over edge nearest to you, and lay it on the top 1/4 so that puff pastry touches puff pastry, encasing mushrooms completely in a cylinder. Don't roll in pinwheel fashion for strudel because the puff pastry in the interior will never bake, and it will become gummy.
• Move strudel to the center of baking pan and tuck in ends. Brush entire surface with egg wash.
• Using the back of a knife, run crisscross pattern over strudel. If desired, add cut-out leaves, flowers, and vines from a portion of the second sheet of puff pastry. (Frozen grocery store puff pastry typically comes two sheets to a box). Egg wash the designs.
• Bake until golden brown and puffed, anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on your oven. Let rest at least 2 minutes before slicing with a serrated knife.

BERRY COULIS

Steps:

• Combine the berries, sugar, lemon juice, salt and 1 tablespoon water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the berries begin to give off their juice, 1 to 2 minutes. Adjust the heat so the sauce is simmering rapidly and cook until the berries have broken down, 4 to 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing on the solids to extract as much of the sauce as possible. Serve the sauce cold or at room temperature.

MUSHROOM STRUDEL

Steps:

• In a large skillet, over medium heat, combine oil, mushrooms, onion and garlic.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir frequently, until mushrooms have released their liquid and most of that liquid is evaporated.
• Add the wine, the thyme, the basil, the spinach and the lemon rind.
• Saute until the liquid is evaporated.
• Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
• Stir in cheese, 4 tablespoons of the breadcrumbs.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Line a cookie sheet with buttered parchment paper.
• Lay out one sheet of phyllo, brush with melted butter, top with another sheet of phyllo and brush again with butter.
• Repeat (using in total four sheet of dough).
• Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the phyllo dough.
• Lay out mushroom mixture over one end of Phyllo dough.
• Carefully roll into a strudel, tucking in the ends.
• Brush the strudel with butter.
• Bake until golden and crisp--about 30 minutes.

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.

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.

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.

MIXED BERRY COULIS

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine all but the lemon juice.
• Bring just to simmer and cook until berries are warm and sugar is dissolved.
• Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth.
• Strain through a fine sieve (or line coarse sieve with an old flour sack towel).
• Press as much through as possible, leaving only the seeds behind.
• Stir in the lemon juice and adjust sweetness if desired with additional sugar.
• Can be refrigerated for up to 4 days in an airtight container.

MUSHROOM STRUDEL WITH BERRY COULIS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Sort through the mushrooms brushing off any dirt, remove all stems and set aside. Use a spoon to remove the gills from the caps of the Portobello. Slice the tops of the mushrooms into about 1/4″ slices. I like to vary the size a bit to add some visual texture. Large caps like the Portobello can be cubed. Remember mushroom drastically reduce in size when cooked. Finely dice the stems and place in a small bowl separate from the tops. Prepare the shallot by finely dicing. Strip the leaves from the fresh thyme, and finely chop. Add the butter and olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the mushrooms (cooking mushrooms is similar to cooking spinach, the pan may seem full, don't worry it will dramatically reduce). Give the mushrooms a careful toss to coat with the oil. Add 2 tablespoons of the fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook the mushroom, stirring occasionally. When the mushrooms have reduces by half, add the finely diced mushroom stems, and the Dijon to the skillet. Continue to cook until all of the liquid has escaped from the mushrooms, and has been reduced to a thick syrup (almost to the point of sticking). This process will probably take at least 30 minutes (Cooking time will vary depending on the type of mushrooms used at their water content). Add the creme sherry to the pan to deglaze the wonderful mushroom essence, and continue cooking until the liquor has reduced to a thick gravy (It is important that the filling not be "watery" or too wet or it will not work in the pastry). Add the remaining tablespoon of fresh thyme and stir to combine. Transfer the mushrooms from the skillet into a bowl and allow to cool. It is important that the filling be cooled to room temperature before working with the pastry dough. If nuts are desired, toast them in a dry skillet. Allow to cool, finely dice, and add to the filling. Nuts add another layer of flavor and texture, however they are not crucial to the outcome of this dish. The strudel will be fantastic either way. Heat oven to 350° F, and position rack in the center of the oven. Once the filling is completely cooled, taste and adjust salt and pepper if desired (who am I kidding, by now you have most likely eaten two or three spoonfuls already). Melt the stick of butter in the microwave. Lay the sheets of phllyo dough on a piece of parchment paper. Working quickly, fold the phllyo in half like a book, but do not crease. Starting on one half, open each page of the book and brush with the melted butter. Unfold the next layer smooth out the dough with your hand, and butter (Using your hand to lightly smooth the sheet helps to make sure you have an even layer of butter between the sheets). Repeat until all the layers are buttered. Do not butter the top sheet. When you have reached the top sheet, fold over the other direction and repeat. The sheet of dough are slightly rectangular, so place the cooled filling down the center third of the long direction of the dough. Evenly spread the cubes of brie over the top of the filling. Using a sharp knife, cut strips about 1½ inches wide from the edge of the filling outwards in both directions. Keep the cuts in line from side to side. Begin at the bottom and fold the first strip on the right side over the dough at a slight angle upward, then repeat with the left. Continue until all the filling is covered. Brush the top with butter, evenly coating all surfaces. Be sure to do the sides as well. Use the parchment paper to lift the strudel onto a baking sheet. Place in the pre-heated oven and bake for 25 - 30 minutes, or until the top is golden. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Strudel can be served warm, or at room temperature. Either way is delicious. Serve with a stove ground mustard or a berry coulis. Enjoy!! To prepare a Berry Coulis: Cooks note: I personally love the way the berry works with the mushroom and the brie. I made this particular coulis with Thanksgiving in mind. This recipe will yield about a third of a cup of coulis which can be stored in the fridge for several weeks. 8 ounces black berries 8 ounces cranberries 1/4 cup sugar 3 tablespoons water 2 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped 2 tablespoon brandy 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Place the berries, water, lemon juice, and thyme in a small sauce pan and cover. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Allow the mixture to reduce by half. Using a food mill or mesh strainer and the back of a spoon, press all of the liquid from the seeds and skins. Return the liquid to the small sauce pan and simmer, add the brandy and pepper. Reduce to a syrup. Place in fridge to cool and finish thickening.
