Mushroom Strudel Recipes

Steps:

• For the mushrooms: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Stir together cremini and oyster mushrooms, sherry, oil, thyme, dill and some salt and pepper in a roasting pan, then roast for 10 minutes. Allow to cool. Remove and discard herb stems.
• For the filling: Sweat carrots, fennel, onions and celery in oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-low heat until soft. Turn off heat and add goat cheese to melt. Transfer to a half-sheet pan to cool.
• For the strudel: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 3 sheet pans with parchment and spray with nonstick spray. (Each strudel must be rolled and baked on its own sheet pan.)
• Mix mushrooms together with the veggies in a large bowl.
• Lay each sheet of pastry on a lined sheet pan.
• Brush the border of each pastry with egg wash, then sprinkle panko in a line down the center of the pastry. Spoon a third of the filling in a line on top of the panko, then sprinkle more panko on top to absorb excess liquid.
• Roll up tightly (like a burrito) and lay seam-side down. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with dill, salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling.
• Bake for 10 minutes, then switch and rotate the sheet pans and bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Cool, then cut into 1/2-inch slices.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• If either of the sausage meats is coarsely ground, place the meat in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade, and pulse until the meat is finely ground.
• Heat 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan, add the onion, and cook for 4 to 6 minutes over medium heat, until tender but not browned. Add all the sausage meat and mash with a fork, breaking it up and browning it, for 5 to 7 minutes, until no longer pink.
• Meanwhile, prep the mushrooms. Without washing the mushrooms, wipe the caps with a slightly damp paper towel or sponge to remove any dirt. Trim the stems, then roughly chop the caps and stems. Add the mushrooms, fennel seeds, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper to the sausage and cook for 10 minutes, until the mushrooms give off their liquid and the liquid evaporates. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes. Stir in the mascarpone and the fresh bread crumbs and season to taste. The seasoning will depend on how highly seasoned the sausage meat is.
• Melt the remaining 12 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan. Unfold the phyllo dough and keep it covered with a slightly damp (not wet!) kitchen towel. Transfer one sheet of phyllo to a board, brush it lightly with melted butter, and sprinkle with a teaspoon of dry bread crumbs.
• Place a second sheet of phyllo directly on top, brush with butter, and sprinkle with dry bread crumbs; repeat until you have 5 sheets piled up.
• With the long edge of the stack of phyllo facing you, make a 1-inch strip of sausage filling (about 1/3 of the filling) near the bottom edge. Fold up the sides and roll the phyllo firmly up and over, rolling the log away from you. Transfer the log, seam side down, to the prepared sheet pan. Brush with butter and score diagonally at 1-inch intervals. Make two more strudel logs and place them on the sheet pan.
• Bake the strudels for 20 to 30 minutes, rotating the pan once to cook evenly, until browned. Cool slightly, cut in pieces through the scored lines, and serve warm.

Steps:

• Soak porcini in boiling-hot water in a small bowl until softened, about 10 minutes. Lift out porcini and squeeze excess liquid back into bowl. Rinse porcini well to remove any grit. Strain soaking liquid through a sieve lined with a dampened paper towel into another bowl and reserve.
• Pulse porcini and white mushrooms in a food processor until finely chopped (but not minced).
• Cook shallots in butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring, until beginning to soften, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms, reserved soaking liquid, wine, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Stir in parsley, then spread filling on a plate and chill, uncovered, until cold, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.
• While filling chills, put stack of phyllo sheets on a work surface and cut in half crosswise, then stack halves and cover with plastic wrap. Remove 1 phyllo sheet from stack (keep remaining sheets covered) and arrange with a long side nearest you, then lightly brush with some duck fat. Top with another phyllo sheet and brush with fat. Spread about one fourth of mushroom filling in a narrow strip along edge nearest you to within 1/4 inch of each end, then roll up phyllo tightly around filling, leaving ends open. Transfer roll, seam side down, to a baking sheet and make 3 more rolls in same manner, transferring to baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Cool slightly on baking sheet on a rack, then brush length of each roll with a very thin line of truffle oil (if using) with tip of a cotton swab. Gently cut each roll crosswise into 8 pieces with serrated knife. Serve strudel warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, over medium heat, combine oil, mushrooms, onion and garlic.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• 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.
• Saute until the liquid is evaporated.
• Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
• Stir in cheese, 4 tablespoons of the breadcrumbs.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Line a cookie sheet with buttered parchment paper.
• Lay out one sheet of phyllo, brush with melted butter, top with another sheet of phyllo and brush again with butter.
• Repeat (using in total four sheet of dough).
• Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the phyllo dough.
• Lay out mushroom mixture over one end of Phyllo dough.
• Carefully roll into a strudel, tucking in the ends.
• Brush the strudel with butter.
• Bake until golden and crisp--about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Mince mushrooms and squeeze them dry in the corner of a towel.
• Sauté with minced shallots or green onions in butter and oil over moderately high heat, stirring frequently. Cook until pieces separate and the liquid has evaporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Blend in cream cheese.
• Spread a sheet of strudel or filo dough on a damp towel, narrow end toward you. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle on bread crumbs. Repeat with second and third sheets, stacking them on top of the first sheet, then butter, but do not crumb fourth sheet. Put half the mushroom mixture on narrower edge of the dough, leaving a 2- to 3-inch border at the sides. Fold in the sides, then, using the edge of the towel, roll. Prepare the second strudel.
• Put strudels on buttered baking sheet and brush with melted butter. Bake in oven until brown (about 20 minutes). The strudel cuts easily with shears. Strudel can be made and baked ahead, stored in the refrigerator or in the freezer overnight, and then reheated.

Steps:

• Fry the onions in 50g of the butter in a large pan. Add the sliced flat and chestnut mushrooms, then soften for 5 mins. Stir in the shiitake mushrooms and garlic, then turn up the heat and cook quite fiercely to drive off as much moisture as possible. Stir in the madeira, tarragon, breadcrumbs and tomatoes, then take the pan off the heat.
• In a separate pan, cook the button mushrooms and pine nuts in the remaining butter until the nuts are golden. Add to the mushroom and tomato mixture, then cool.
• Lay a sheet of filo on the work surface and brush with oil. Top with another sheet, brush again, then continue until you have a stack of 4 sheets of pastry. Spread half the filling down the longest length, leaving several cms at each end. Fold the pastry ends up over the filling, roll up like a cigar, then carefully lift onto a baking sheet. Brush with more oil, then tear the last filo sheet into strips, scrunch up and place half on top to decorate. Repeat with the rest of the pastry and filling to make a second strudel, then chill until ready to cook. Can be made 1 day ahead.
• To serve, bake in a preheated oven at 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 for 30 mins or until golden and heated through. Serve in slices, scattered with extra pine nuts and tarragon, with the madeira sauce.

• To Assemble: Use a well-buttered baking tray.
• Melt the butter.
• Lay a leaf of phyllo flat on a wooden surface (or Formica counter) and brush with melted butter.
• Add another leaf and brush with more butter (be generous).
• Continue to stack the leaves until you have 5.
• Apply 1/2 the filling across the width of the leaves, over a 3-4" space and roll it up lightly.
• Brush top with butter and sprinkle on 1 tbsp poppy seeds.
• Using a spatula, transfer to a buttered tray.
• Repeat this ritual to make a second roll.
• Slash each roll into 3rds, on the diagonal.
