May 2009 Recipe from Chef Ron
This recipe was featured in April's Culinary Review Dinner. It was such a hit, I thought I'd share the recipe!
MUSHROOM STRUDEL (Makes 4 dozen)
Preheat oven to 350°
1 lb. mushrooms, minced
½ cup minced yellow onion
1 cup minced green onion
1 stick + 4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon oil
¼ teaspoon Tabasco
½ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons minced dill weed
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
6 8 filo leaves
Place minced mushroom a handful at a time in a tea towel and squeeze out all the moisture. In a skillet, over moderate heat, sauté the mushrooms with the onions in 3 tablespoons of butter and the oil until moisture has evaporated, about 15 minutes. Remove skillet from the heat and stir in the Tabasco, sour cream, dill, salt and pepper and let mixture cool.
Keep filo leaves moist by placing them under a damp towel. Melt the remaining butter. On a sheet of wax paper, place 1 sheet of filo and brush it gently with melted butter. Place a second sheet of filo directly over the first and brush it with melted butter. Spread a 1 inch wide strip of the mushroom mixture along one of the long sides of the filo. Fold in the sides of the filo to contain the filling and roll up jelly-roll fashion. Transfer the roll to a buttered baking sheet, with seam side down, and make other rolls; brush them with the melted butter and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes until crisp and golden. Allow rolls to cool for 5 minutes. Cut rolls on an angle in 1 inch slices and serve warm.
