ROASTED VEGETABLE STRUDEL: 2 WAYS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 °F, 230 °C.
• Place all of the filling ingredients in a baking tray and toss together. Roast until tender. About 35-40 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• To prepare the red sauce:In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook the onions and olive oil for 8-10 minutes or until they are soft and translucent. Add the pureed tomatoes, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for 10 minutes or until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley and sliced olives. Mix to combine.
• To prepare the white sauce:In a small saucepan, combine the flour and oil/butter and cook over medium heat until toasted. About 2 minutes. Add milk and whisk together until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat (stirring constantly) until thickened. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon.
• In a small bowl, whisk the egg and temper with some of the hot cream mixture. Return the egg mixture to the saucepan and add the cheese. Whisk together and set aside (off the heat).
• To form the strudel:
• Pour either the white sauce or the red sauce over the roasted vegetables. Crumble the feta cheese on top and mix well to combine.
• Place one sheet of phyllo on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle some butter on top, concentrating on the edges. Layer the remaining sheets of phyllo over top and drizzle with butter in between each layer.
• Place all of the roasted vegetable filling on the bottom third (the longer side) of the phyllo. Roll it up (use the parchment paper under the phyllo to help roll). Tuck the edges (brushed with lots of butter to help seal them) of the phyllo under the roll.
• Cut 6-7 diagonal slits on the top and brush the strudel all around with the remaining butter.
• Reduce the oven's temperature to 350°F, 180 °C.
• Bake until golden all around. About 30-35 minutes.
• Allow to cool about 15 minutes and serve.

ROASTED VEGETABLE STRUDEL WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER COULIS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, toss all the cut vegetables, except for the tomatoes, with olive oil until each piece is coated and then sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Transfer the vegetables to a baking sheet and roast until tender. Allow the vegetables to cool and then place them in a large bowl. Toss in the tomatoes and arugula until combined.
• Raise oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
• Cut each sheet of phyllo in half widthwise. Spray each sheet with cooking spray and then stack the sheets so that there are 2 layers. Lay the phyllo lengthwise vertically and place about 1/2 cup of vegetable mixture in the center. Roll up and tuck in the sides to make a strudel. Spray the outsides with cooking spray and then bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Top the strudel with Roasted Red Pepper Coulis and serve.
• Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the peppers, onions, leeks, and garlic and saute until translucent and the garlic is slightly brown. Add the basil, oregano, and cilantro, along with the vegetable stock, and salt and pepper, to taste; simmer over medium-high heat for approximately 10 minutes. Pour the mixture in a blender and puree until smooth*, while slowly drizzling extra-virgin olive oil into the pitcher. Strain the mixture through a coarse strainer and serve over the strudel.

ROASTED VEGETABLE STRUDEL

Steps:

• Dice the veggies, drizzle with olive oil, S&P and roast at 425F until tender and golden.
• The most important thing I can say about using phyllo is to keep it covered with a damp cloth as you go layering it. For this recipe I used 6 sheets, I did not drench them in melted butter either, instead I sprayed olive oil over each sheet with my olive oil mister as well as a sprinkling of grated romano cheese on each layer.
• When you reach the 6th sheet spread your vegetables all over leaving about a 2" border all the way around. Scatter your favorite cheese combination on top of the veggies, I used fresh mozzarella, grated fontina, asiago and romano. Fold up the border ends over the vegetables then carefully roll up starting up on the longer side until it becomes into a log.
• I sprayed olive oil on top of the log along with grated cheese and black pepper and baked it for around 20 minutes at 400F until golden.
