- Roasted Red Pepper Coulis, recipe follows
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, toss all the cut vegetables, except for the tomatoes, with olive oil until each piece is coated and then sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Transfer the vegetables to a baking sheet and roast until tender.
- Allow the vegetables to cool and then place them in a large bowl.
- Toss in the tomatoes and arugula until combined.
- Raise oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
- Cut each sheet of phyllo in half widthwise.
- Spray each sheet with cooking spray and then stack the sheets so that there are 2 layers.
- Lay the phyllo lengthwise vertically and place about 1/2 cup of vegetable mixture in the center.
- Roll up and tuck in the sides to make a strudel.
- Spray the outsides with cooking spray and then bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Top the strudel with Roasted Red Pepper Coulis and serve.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups roasted red bell pepper strips
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced yellow onion
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced leeks
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 4 fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the peppers, onions, leeks, and garlic and saute until translucent and the garlic is slightly brown.
- Add the basil, oregano, and cilantro, along with the vegetable stock, and salt and pepper, to taste; simmer over medium-high heat for approximately 10 minutes.
- Pour the mixture in a blender and puree until smooth*, while slowly drizzling extra-virgin olive oil into the pitcher.
- Strain the mixture through a coarse strainer and serve over the strudel.
- *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes.
- Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway.
- If using a blender, release one corner of the lid.
- This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions.
- Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
