Recipe Club: How to Make Love and Dinner at the Same Time

What do making love and making Rosemary Potato Pork Chops have in common? The slower the better! So begins How to Make Love and Dinner at the Same Time, the hilarious new book by Rebecca Field Jager. Rebecca has filled 256 pages with everything you need to know about slow cooking. According to Rebecca, slow cookers (or crock pots) are like birth control pills, liberating devices that let you, the home cook, do what you want, when you want, with whom you want…without worrying about a bun in the oven. Don't miss Rebecca Field Jager's recipes this week in our Recipe Club. You could even win an autographed copy of her new cookbook!

Holiday Appetizer Strudel


Ingredients:

7 sheets Athens™ or Apollo™ Fillo Dough
1 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. shallots, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups shiitake mushrooms, sliced, stems removed
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and diced
1 teaspoon brandy
2 Tbsp. Madeira wine
2 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup canned water chestnuts, diced
1 cup fresh Brussels sprouts, cooked and shredded
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 cup light rye bread crumbs
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 teaspoons poppy seeds

Procedure:

In medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1 Tbsp. butter. Add shallots, garlic and mushrooms. Stir, cover and heat for 5 minutes. Add apple, brandy and Madeira. Cook until all liquid has evaporated, stirring occasionally. Cool.

In medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream and egg. Add water chestnuts, Brussels sprouts, thyme, caraway seeds, salt and pepper. Mix in cooled apple mixture. Fold in bread crumbs.

To prepare large fillo strudel, layer 7 fillo sheets, brushing each with melted butter. Sprinkle each layer with poppy seeds, reserving 1/2 teaspoon to sprinkle on top of rolled strudel. Place cooled filling at one end of fillo, leaving 1” from end and 1” from each side free of any filling. Start rolling from edge containing filling. Once filling is enclosed, fold exposed edges in. Continue rolling to end of fillo stack.

Place strudel roll seam side down on baking sheet. Brush top and sides with butter. Score top into 8 equal portions. Sprinkle top with remaining poppy seeds. Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Serves 8
