Spinach and Feta Strudel

Arrow


I added some light raisins to this strudel for a great flavor combination, but since I know that some of you may be a bit hesitant about the addition of sweetness, I included the option of chopped black olives instead. (Throw a few raisins in on one side, though, just to give the flavor a try!)

Directions

Prepare Strudel

1. In a medium pan, heat oil over medium-high heat.
2. Add onion and sauté until golden, about eight minutes.
3. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about one minute.
4. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl.
5. Return pan to heat.
6. Working in batches, cook spinach, tossing until wilted, about one minute.
7. Drain spinach and let cool.
8. Squeeze out excess moisture, then chop roughly.
9. Add spinach, feta cheese, and raisins  to the bowl with the onion, and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
10. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
11. Unroll phyllo dough, place one sheet on a work surface (keep remaining sheets covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent drying), and brush with oil.
12. Lay another sheet on top and brush with oil.
13. Repeat until you have ten layers of phyllo.
14. Spread half of filling lengthwise down the middle of the phyllo stack.
15. Roll into a log, brushing the seam with oil before sealing.
16. Brush log with oil.
17. Using a small, sharp knife, make eight shallow diagonal cuts on top.
18. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling.
19. Place logs seam-side down on a Gefen Easy Baking Parchment-lined baking sheet.
20. Bake until deep golden brown, about 45–50 minutes.
21. Cut into slices along the slashes.
22. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes:

Be careful to check the baby spinach for bugs. 

Variations:

Chopped black olives can be used instead of raisins.
