Cabbage Strudel
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 green cabbage, shredded
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup walnut pieces, toasted
- 3 sheets phyllo pastry, thawed overnight in the refrigerator, if frozen kept moist
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup walnuts, lightly toasted and finely chopped
- Filling: In a saute pan, melt the butter.
- Heat it to medium high heat and saute the cabbage until tender.
- Add the salt and sugar and stir to dissolve.
- Add the raisins and cook a few minutes to reduce and thicken any juices.
- Stir in the walnuts and spread on a sheet pan to cool.
- Strudel: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Transfer 1 sheet of phyllo to a sheet pan.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the phyllo with butter.
- Sprinkle with 1/3 of the sugar and 1/3 of the chopped walnuts.
- Repeat with the 2 remaining sheets of phyllo.
- Reserve the remaining melted butter and sugar.
- Turn the sheet pan so that the phyllo is horizontal to your body.
- Spoon the cooled cabbage filling 2 inches in from the left hand edge of the phyllo, working from top to bottom, leaving 2 inches bare at the top and bottom.
- Turn the sheet pan 1/4 turn and roll up the pastry to encase the filling, forming a log.
- Move the log to the center of the sheet pan and tuck the ends under to keep the filling from oozing out.
- Brush the surface with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
- Let cool 10 to 15 minuets on the pan.
- Using a serrated knife cut carefully into sections and serve warm.
