Phyllo Filo Strudel With Port Wine Sauce Recipes

APPLE PHYLLO STRUDEL

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the apples, dried cranberries, brown sugar and cinnamon in a saucepan and cook for about 10 minutes or until tender. Let stand for 10 minutes to cool.
• 2. Layer 2 sheets of the phyllo on a work surface and spray with nonstick cooking spray; sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Repeat the layers 2 times with the remaining sheets. Spread the apple mixture over the phyllo. Roll the phyllo from the 12-inch side to enclose the filling.
• 3. Place the roll on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 25 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before slicing to serve. Arrange on serving plates.

PHYLLO (FILO) STRUDEL WITH PORT WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• For the strudel:.
• Heat olive oil in pan, add mushrooms and garlic and saute for a few minutes or until starting to become soft. Drain well.
• Saute the leeks until tender.
• Mix the cheeses together with salt, pepper and other seasonings of your liking (I use herbes de provence.) Fold in the mushrooms, leeks and tomatoes. Chill for a couple of hours.
• Preheat oven to 400°F Lay out 6 sheets of phyllo on a lightly floured surface and brush with melted butter. Cover with layer two, more melted butter, then layer three. Brush butter only on the edges of the top layer.
• Divide the chilled filling into six long "sausages" and place one on the bottom edge of the phyllo rectangle. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, tuck in the sides and roll up into a tight parcel. Brush with butter and place on baking sheet.
• Bake for 25 minutes until crisp and golden.
• For the sauce:.
• Pour the wine into a pan, bring to boil and reduce by half. (Add the bay leaf to the wine if you want it a little more "herby.").
• Heat the olive oil in a saute pan and cook the onion, mushrooms and garlic with a seasoning of your choice.
• Add a big glug of port and reduce by half.
• Pour in the reduced wine and bring back to a boil. Then add the stock. Bring back to a boil and cook for 15 minutes.
• Just before serving whisk in the cold butter to give it a really great shine.
• To serve, pour a little sauce on each plate and set a strudel on top.
