Asparagus Strudel Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
2 large onions, finely chopped
1/4 lb butter or vegan margarine plus:
2 tbsp butter or vegan margarine
1 1/3 cup fine fresh breadcrumbs
8 phyllo pastry sheets
1 1/2 lb trimmed asparagus, washed, chopped and cook
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
TO GARNISH
1 parsley sprigs
1 lemon slices
1 asparagus tips
VEGAN YOGURT & HERB DRESSING
1/2 cup vegan yogurt
1 salt
1 freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp chopped mint
Recipe Preparation
Preheat the oven to 400 F. Saute the onions in 2 tablespoons of the
butter or vegan margarine for 10 minutes, until soft but not browned.
In another pan, heat 4 tablespoons of the butter or vegan margarine
and saute the crumbs until crisp. Melt the remaining butter or vegan
margarine in a small saucepan.
Spread one phyllo pastry sheet out on a large board and brush with
butter or margarine. Put another pastry sheet on top and brush with
more butter or margarine. Repeat until all sheets have been used.
Spread the onions evenly on top of the pastry, keeping the edges
clear. Put the asparagus over the top of the onions and sprinkle with
three-quarters of the crumbs and the parsley.
Fold over 2 inches all around the pastry, then fold the long edges
over to make a roll.
Place the roll, seam side down, on a baking sheet and bend it around
into a horseshoe shape. Brush with remaining melted butter or
margarine and sprinkle with the remaining crumbs. Bake for 40
minutes, until golden and crisp. Garnish with parsley sprigs, lemon
slices and asparagus tips.
Combine Yogurt and Herb Dressing ingredients, and serve with Strudel.
