(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Pizza/flatbread

Ingredients

  • 1 large bunch Lacinato kale, large stems discarded, leaves chopped
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil, divided
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups thinly sliced cremini mushrooms
  • 1 tsp minced fresh thyme
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 cup feta
  • 4 sheets phyllo dough

Directions

  1. To a nonstick saute pan on medium, add 1/3 cup water. When water begins to steam, add kale. Saute until very well wilted, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let stand until cool enough to handle. Gather cooled kale in your hands and squeeze tightly to press out as much water as possible into bowl. Discard liquid and set kale aside.

  2. In same pan on medium, heat 1 tbsp. oil. Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Add mushrooms, thyme, black pepper and cayenne; stir well. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover, remove from heat and stir in kale and feta.

  3. Preheat oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay stack of 4 sheets of phyllo on a flat surface with long edge facing you. Brush top surface of phyllo with 2 tsp oil. Place kale and mushroom filling long the edge closest to you, leaving about 3 inches space from the bottom and 2 inches on either side. Roll phyllo dough over filling then continue to roll up, folding in the sides, like a compact burrito.

  4. Transfer strudel to prepared pan and brush the top and sides of pastry with remaining 1 tsp oil. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the top of the strudel begins to turn golden-brown. Remove from oven and let cool for a few moments. Enjoy warm, slicing when ready to serve.
