Roasted Vegetable strudel

with Red Pepper Sauce

1 zucchini, large diced

Red bell pepper sauce

1 small eggplant, large diced

1 cup jarred roasted red bell peppers, drained

2 portabella mushrooms, small diced

2/3 cup vegetable broth

3 garlic cloves, chopped

1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 Tablespoon olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Salt and pepper, to taste

 

8 oil-packed sundried tomato halves, patted dry and chopped

 

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

 

6 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets, thawed

 

1/2 cup shredded Asiago cheese

 

1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese

 

Preheat oven to 425° on Pure Convection. Place zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes, mushrooms and garlic in a medium-sized bowl. Toss with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into 9x13 baking dish and roast for about 15-20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and lightly browned. Stir in sundried tomatoes. Allow to cool. Leave oven on but reduce temperature to 350° on Pure Convection.

To assemble phyllo, lightly brush baking sheet with butter. Stack 2 phyllo sheets on top of one another on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top of the phyllo lightly with melted butter. Stack 2 more sheets on top, then brush with butter. Repeat with remaining 2 sheets. Place cooled vegeta- bles in a 3-inch strip lengthwise down the center of the sheets, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border at the ends. Sprinkle the vegetables with Asiago and Gruyere cheese. Roll phyllo up into a log, enclosing filling completely. Brush the top with butter. Bake until phyllo is golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.

While phyllo is baking, make red bell pepper sauce. Place red bell peppers, vegetable broth and balsamic vinegar in a blender. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Allow strudel to cool for about 10 minutes, then slice crosswise into 6 pieces. Place on plates, then spoon red bell pepper sauce on top.

Make 6 servings.
