Vegetable strudel

Had a cute squash from in law's allotment, some overripe plum tomatoes, red peppers and a sad looking aubergine. Decided to make a veggie strudel with the bits in the fridge. I had to buy some filo and got some lovely big sheets from a Turkish shop in Archway. 

Ingredients: 

Filo 3 large sheets

1 Aubergine, cubed

1 squash, peeled and cubed

10 baby plum tomatoes

2 onions, cut into quarters

2 red peppers, diced

Garlic cloves

About 75g butter, melted (can use oil instead)

Bit of finely grated Parmesan

100g cream cheese or ricotta

100-200g feta

All these quantities can be varied obviously depending on what you have. Can also use different veg eg courgette, sweet potato. 

Firstly, heat oven to 180C. Then dicing of veggies as above and scatter all except tomatoes in roasting tin with a splash of olive oil (2tbsp) and seasoning. Roast til soft for about 30 mins, adding tomatoes halfway. 

By now they'll be much smaller and mushy. If they are very wet you might want to drain some of the fluid. 

Now mix in the cream cheese with veggies. Get filo ready and a big baking sheet lined with parchment. 

Lay sheet on lined tin. Brush whole thing with melted butter. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Put second sheet on top. Repeat butter brushing and Parmesan sprinkling and then same for third sheet.

Now lie veg in middle of sheets. Crumble feta on top.

Fold pastry over top tightly. Use butter to seal the layers. Then try to turn it over so that the join is underneath. Brush all over with melted butter. Place in oven for 30 mins till golden brown. 

Enjoy. Hopefully.
