Potato And Mushroom Strudel Food

POTATO STRUDEL WITH DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 dgrees F.
• In a large pot of salted water boil the potatoes until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set aside in a large bowl.
• In a large skillet melt 1 tablespoon of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and saute the onion and garlic until soft. Add the button mushrooms and saute until lightly browned. Add this mixture to the bowl with the potatoes.
• Melt the remaining butter and oil in the same skillet and saute the shiitake mushrooms until golden, add to the potatoes. Pour the white vermouth into the hot skillet and simmer for 30 seconds. Add the vermouth, oregano, thyme, and parsley to the potato and mushroom mixture. Season, to taste, with kosher salt and pepper.
• Crumble the soft chevre into the potato and mushroom mixture and gently combine.
• Lay 1 sheet of phyllo on a clean, dry surface, and brush with clarified butter. Continue layering with 2 more sheets of phyllo brushing each sheet with clarified butter. Place the mushroom mixture across the lower third of the phyllo layers. Roll up the strudel like a spring roll, tucking in the sides to create a tight cylinder. Place the strudel on a parchment paper lined baking tray.
• Brush the outside of the strudel with clarified butter and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Bake for 15 minutes, reduce the heat to 350 degrees F. Bake for 15 minutes longer, until golden brown. Cut the strudel into 6 slices and serve with the warm Dill Sauce.
• In a medium pot over medium high heat melt the butter and saute the shallots until golden. Add the cream and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until reduced by 1/3. Stir in the dill and season with the salt and pepper, to taste.

CAVOLO NERO, MUSHROOM, POTATO & FONTINA STRUDEL

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Remove the tough ribs from the cavolo nero and wash the leaves. Plunge them into boiling water and cook for 7 mins. Drain well, then set the leaves aside to cool.
• Squeeze the excess water from the cavolo nero (you have to do this really well or you'll have watery strudel), then roughly chop it and put in a bowl.
• Heat the oil and 15g of the butter in a pan, then fry the onion for about 10 mins until soft and pale golden. Add this to the cavolo nero. Season.
• Add a little more oil to the pan and cook the mushrooms over a high heat so they get a good colour. Cook for 10-15 mins until the water comes out of the mushrooms and has evaporated (if you don't do this your strudel will be soggy). Season and add to the cavolo nero.
• Cook the potatoes until tender, by either steaming, boiling or microwaving them, then cut into slices the thickness of a pound coin. Add the crème fraîche, parmesan, 100g of the fontina and the nutmeg to the cavolo nero, then add the potatoes and mushrooms and season. Stir everything well.
• Melt the rest of the butter. Lay a sheet of filo on a large baking sheet. Brush lightly with melted butter, then put another sheet on top. Do this until you have 8 layers of filo.
• With the long side of the baking sheet towards you, spoon the filling along the pastry, about 4cm in from the edge. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Carefully roll the filo and the stuffing into a fat log shape and tuck the ends underneath to seal. If the package doesn't seal well, then use more filo sheets - one sheet torn in half should do the job - to wrap around the ends. Filo is very forgiving so this won't look bad.
• Brush the strudel with more butter, scatter over the poppy seeds and bake for 25 mins until golden brown.

POTATO STRUDEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Heat the butter in a large sauté pan. Add the potatoes, sweet potato, carrot, onion, beets, thyme and flour. Mix well and sauté a few minutes. Add the wine and simmer until it starts to thicken, 3-5 minutes.
• Beat egg and cream together. Pour into pan and stir well. Add mushrooms and parsley. Simmer until root vegetables are barely tender and the sauce is very thick. Allow to cool slightly while you proceed.
• Lay out one sheet of phyllo on top of a kitchen towel. Brush with melted butter. Lay another sheet of phyllo on top and brush with melted butter. Repeat with each additional sheet of phyllo until 7 sheets are buttered and stacked. Add an 8th sheet, but do not butter. (Keep sheets covered with damp towel until ready to use.). Place half the potato mixture in a line across the phyllo stack, about 2" from the end, and leaving a 1 1/2" border on either side. Use the towel to roll the phyllo over the potato mixture once. Fold in the bare edges of the phyllo. Using the towel, continue to roll the log, shaping and packing it tightly. Tuck in the ends when the roll is complete. Repeat with the remaining phyllo and potato mixture.
• Transfer the rolls to a parchment-lined or oil-sprayed baking sheet. Brush with clarified butter. Bake 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
• Carefully move to a cutting board. Slice with a serrated knife. Remove the very ends and discard. Slice into 3" segments, then cut each segment into 2 pieces on an angle. Serve 2 such pieces per person as an appetizer, or 1 piece as a side dish. Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme.

MUSHROOM, POTATO AND GOAT CHEESE STRUDEL IN SWEET PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• For the Strudel Dough: In a mixing bowl with a paddle attachment, blend all ingredients until dough becomes stretchy and does not snap away from itself (10 to 15 minutes). Cover in plastic wrap and let relax for 1 hour. This can be made in advance and refrigerated but allow to return to room temperature before stretching.
• For the Filling: Boil potatoes in salted water until cooked through. Drain, dice and set aside. In a large pan over medium heat, saute onions in butter until, almost translucent (5 minutes). Add mushrooms and continue sauteing fully cooked. Add wine and herbs and saute for an additional 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place in a large bowl and allow to cool. Toss potatoes and goat cheese into mushroom mixture.
• For the Sweet Pepper Sauce: In a medium saucepan, saute onions over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add peppers and saute until heated through. Add wine and thyme and simmer until peppers are soft, approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Remove thyme. Puree peppers with a hand blender or in a food processor. Strain. Season with salt and pepper. Add cream, heat to a simmer. Pour the sauce onto the plate and then place strudel on top.
• To assemble Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place dough in the middle of a floured clean tablecloth. Press out as far as it can go. Then from underneath, start pulling and stretching the dough from the middle outward. Keep pulling the dough until it is almost translucent. If it tears, don't worry. Many layers will be folded. Stretch the dough out to about a 2.5 foot square. Brush entire dough (gently) with melted butter. Sprinkle with bread crumbs. Along one side of the dough, spread the filling, leaving a 3-inch overhang to fold over filling. Begin rolling the filling up in the dough, using the tablecloth to help you roll evenly. Place on a baking sheet. Bake for 1/2 hour. Serve with greens as a lunch or on its own as an appetizer with Chardonnay.

POTATO-AND-MUSHROOM STRUDEL

Steps:

• Cut 4 of the potatoes into 3/4-inch cubes. Place in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and pass potatoes through a ricer. Stir in milk, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place oil in a large, nonstick skillet. Add shallots and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Turn heat to low. Add wine and broth. Cook for 3 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the parsley, the salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Spray a large baking sheet lightly with olive oil. Heat the baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, slice 3 remaining potatoes lengthwise into very thin slices. Place potatoes on the hot baking sheet. Spray them lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until potato slices are browned and crisp, about 20 minutes, turning slices once.
• Lower oven to 350 degrees. Spray a medium-size, shallow, rectangular baking dish with olive oil. Line the bottom with a layer of potato slices. Spread the slices with half of the mashed potatoes. Cover the potatoes with half of the mushroom mixture. Repeat layers of mashed potatoes and mushrooms. Cover top with a layer of potato slices. Bake until heated through, about 15 minutes. Cut into squares and garnish with remaining parsley. This dish must be served immediately.
