Crispy Mushroom Strudels
- 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, plus 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 3 medium shallots, minced
- 1 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded and caps sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1 pound white mushrooms, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 cup dry sherry
- 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
- 9 sheets phyllo dough
- Sour cream, for serving
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- In a very large skillet, melt the stick of butter.
- Add the shallots and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 4 minutes.
- Add the shiitake and white mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms are lightly browned, about 8 minutes.
- Add the sherry and sherry vinegar and cook for 1 minute.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the mushrooms to a food processor and process until finely chopped but still a bit chunky.
- Lay 1 sheet of phyllo on a work surface and brush with melted butter, then top and repeat with 2 more phyllo sheets; keep the rest covered with plastic wrap.
- Halve the layered phyllo to form two 8 1/2-by-12-inch rectangles.
- Spoon 1/2 cup of the mushrooms at the bottom of each half, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Roll the phyllo over the mushrooms; fold in the sides and continue to roll up like a cigar.
- Brush each strudel with melted butter and transfer to a large baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining phyllo, mushrooms and butter.
- Bake the strudels for 15 minutes, or until nicely browned and crisp.
- Let rest on the baking sheet for 3 minutes.
- With a serrated knife, cut the strudels on the bias into 2-inch lengths.
- Transfer to a platter, cut sides up, and top with small dollops of sour cream.
- Serve hot.
