Mushroom Cheddar Arugula Strudel Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and set the rack about 4 to 5 inches from the heat source.
• Heat oil in large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Saute mushrooms until browned, seasoning with salt and pepper. Add onion and saute until tender.
• Whisk eggs, egg whites, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Pour over vegetables in skillet and mix gently. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover skillet, and cook until eggs are set around edges, about 4 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and then place skillet under broiler and cook until cheese is melted and just browned, about 2 minutes. Let frittata stand 1 minute before cutting into 8 wedges. Serve with salad on the side.
• Arugula Salad:
• 1 large bunch arugula leaves, washed and dried
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 10 grinds black pepper
• Couple pinches salt
• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Toss to coat leaves with dressing and serve with the frittata.

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.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots, tomatoes, garlic, basil, 2 teaspoons thyme and rosemary; sauté 2 minutes. Add mushrooms; sauté until very tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper. Cool.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter baking sheet. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in small saucepan. Place kitchen towel on work surface. Top with 1 phyllo sheet (keep remaining phyllo sheets covered with plastic wrap and damp towel). Brush with melted butter. Top with phyllo sheet; brush with butter. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon thyme. Repeat layering with 2 more phyllo sheets, brushing with butter and sprinkling with remaining 1/2 teaspoon thyme. Top with another phyllo sheet; brush with butter.
• Starting 1 1/2 inches in from 1 long side and 2 inches in from each short side, spoon mushroom mixture onto phyllo in 2 1/2-inch-diameter log parallel to long sides. Fold short sides over filling; brush folded edges with butter. Using towel as aid and starting on long side nearer filling, roll up strudel jelly-roll style. Using spatula, transfer strudel to prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Brush strudel with butter. Freeze 5 minutes.
• Bake strudel until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cut strudel into slices. Serve with Arugula Pesto.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in red pepper flakes and chopped mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are coated with oil and begin to soften.
• Pour in sherry and chicken broth. Simmer until liquid is reduced by half. Add arugula and cook until wilted, about one minute. Season with black pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic; sauté 4 minutes. Increase heat to high. Add mushrooms; sauté until tender and golden, about 15 minutes. Add Sherry wine vinegar, then Sherry; boil until almost all liquid evaporates, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cool. Mix in 2 tablespoons parsley.
• Place 1 phyllo sheet on work surface. Brush with 2 teaspoons oil. Top with second phyllo sheet; brush with 2 teaspoons oil. Top with third phyllo sheet. Sprinkle cheese along 1 long side of phyllo, 1 inch in from edge. Spoon mushroom mixture over cheese. Fold short ends over. Starting at long filled side, roll phyllo up tightly. Place seam side down on baking sheet. Brush with remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Using long sharp knife, score top of strudel through phyllo, making 8 evenly spaced cuts. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake strudel until golden brown, about 50 minutes.
• Meanwhile, boil balsamic vinegar and molasses in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until reduced to 2 1/2 tablespoons, about 10 minutes. Cool.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, over medium heat, combine oil, mushrooms, onion and garlic.

• 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.

• Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
• Stir in cheese, 4 tablespoons of the breadcrumbs.
