WILD MUSHROOM STRUDEL
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.)

Steps:
- In a heavy skillet "dry sauté " the mushrooms (no oil, high heat), until you hear a popping sound in the pan. Add the butter and stir in the leeks and cook until tender. Then add the shallots and the garlic, the salt and the pepper. Sauté for a few more minutes, then add the tarragon. Once everything has a nice color, remove from heat and let the mixture cool.
- Preheat oven to 375° F.
- Place one filo sheet on your work surface. Brush it with some olive oil. Top with a second filo sheet, brush with some olive oil and repeat with a third and forth sheet of filo. Sprinkle the cheese along one long side of the filo, about one inch in from the edge. Spoon the leek mixture over the cheese. Fold the short ends over. Starting at the long, filled side, roll the filo up firmly but not too tightly. Place the roll, seam side-down on a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper. Brush it with some more olive oil and sprinkle with some flaky sea salt. Using a long sharp knife, score the top of the strudel through the filo, making several evenly spaced cuts, about an inch wide.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes or until lightly brown.
- If you are making the optional drizzling sauce, place the balsamic vinegar and the honey in small, heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat until reduced to about 4 TBSP. This will take about 10 minutes. Set it aside and let it cool completely.
- Using a serrated knife, cut the slightly cooled strudel at the score marks into several rounds. Drizzle the balsamic reduction onto each of four plates. Center a few slices of the strudel over the syrup on each plate and serve.
SAUSAGE & MUSHROOM STRUDELS
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) sauté 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:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the leeks and stock into a large pan, then cover and cook for 5-8 mins until starting to soften. Add the mushrooms, cover again and cook for 3 mins, then remove the lid and continue to cook until the juices have evaporated. Tip the veg onto a large plate to cool slightly.
- For each strudel, lightly brush half of each filo sheet with some olive oil. Fold the un-brushed side over to make a smaller sheet, 2 layers thick. Brush the edges with a little more oil, then spoon a quarter of the veg along one edge. Crumble over a quarter of the cheese, fold over the pastry edges, then roll up to seal in the filling.
- Put the strudels on a baking tray, brush with any remaining oil and scatter over the poppy seeds. Bake for 25 mins until crisp and golden brown.

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.
CREAMY ONE-POT MUSHROOM AND LEEK PASTA
This deeply satisfying pasta, brimming with rich umami, is made in just one pot, an approach that bolsters its flavors. Once the leek and mushrooms are caramelized and sticking to the pot, they're deglazed to lift all the extra depth from the bottom of the pan. (Use any liquid for deglazing, whether water, wine, stock, vinegar or tomato juice.) This recipe leaves the choice of mushrooms up to you: Cremini and shiitake are a good combination, but you could even use rehydrated porcinis. If you are craving greens to cut through the richness, stir a few handfuls of baby spinach into the pasta just before you turn off the heat.

Steps:
- Heat a wide, deep 12-inch skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high. When hot, add the olive oil and leeks, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until softened and lightly golden, 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and mushrooms. Cook, undisturbed, for 2 minutes, then stir and cook, undisturbed, until the mushrooms start to caramelize and stick to the bottom of the pan, another 2 to 3 minutes. (This allows the water from the mushrooms to evaporate, encouraging caramelization.) Add the juice of one lemon half to deglaze the pan and stir to combine.
- Add the pasta and stock; stir well. Cover with lid and cook on medium heat. Begin tasting pasta 10 minutes after you add it. (All pasta shapes and brands will have different cooking times. You want the pasta to be just tender.)
- Once the pasta is cooked, turn off the heat and add the butter and parsley. Squeeze in the juice from the remaining lemon half and stir until butter is melted and dispersed. Season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, top with ricotta, red-pepper flakes (to taste) and more chopped parsley.

This recipe combines the earthy flavors of mushrooms and leeks with the flaky texture of strudel dough, resulting in a delightful dish that's perfect for any occasion.
Tips:
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients measured and prepped. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your strudel comes together smoothly.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish, so opt for fresh mushrooms, leeks, and herbs whenever possible. Fresh ingredients will provide the best flavor and texture.
- Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Mushrooms and leeks should be cooked until tender but still retain a slight bite. Overcooking will make them mushy and detract from the overall texture of the strudel.
- Use a Sharp Knife: When slicing the mushrooms and leeks, use a sharp knife to ensure clean, even cuts. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from tearing.
- Don't Overwork the Dough: When making the strudel dough, be careful not to overwork it. Overworking can make the dough tough and chewy. Instead, work the dough just until it comes together and is smooth and elastic.
