Wild Mushroom Strudel

Servings: 8
Author: Shawn

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces mixed dried mushrooms
  • 4 ounces fresh mushrooms sliced
  • 3 Tbs unsalted butter
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 Tbs all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbs dried thyme
  • 1 batch puff pastry chilled and ready to roll (about 1/2 pound;see note)

Instructions

  • Rehydrate dried mushrooms with 2 cups boiling water, about 30 minutes.
  • Drain, reserving liquid. Coarsely chop mushrooms, removing tough stems.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. When foamy, add shallots and garlic, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add mushrooms, and cook until golden, about 10 minutes.
  • Add wine, and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 the reserved mushroom broth and continue to simmer until almost dry, for about 10 minutes.
  • Whisk flour into remaining reserved broth, and add to mushroom mixture. Cook until well thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Roll out puff pastry to a form a rectangle about 12 x 18 inches. Spread mushroom filling down the middle of the rectangle, fold dough over to seal, and place on prepared baking sheet with the seam side down. Slash crosswise with a sharp knife or razor.
  • Bake 45 to 55 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
