Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large onions, finely chopped
1 stick butter (plus more, if desired/needed)
1 c fine bread crumbs
8 phyllo pastry sheets
1 1/2 lb trimmed asparagus, chopped, cooked until tender
1/4 c finely chopped parsley
GARNISH INGREDIENTS
parsley sprigs
lemon slices
asparagus tips
YOGURT AND HERB DRESSING
1/2 c plain yogurt
salt
pepper
2 Tbsp mint, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400. Saute the onions in 2 tablespoons of the butter for 10 minutes, until soft but not browned.
  • 2. In another pan, heat 4 tablespoons of the butter and saute the crumbs until crisp.
  • 3. Melt the remaining butter in a small saucepan. Spread one phyllo pastry sheet out on a large board and brush with butter. Put another pastry sheet on top and brush with more butter. Repeat until all sheets have been used.
  • 4. Spread the onions evenly on top of the pastry, keeping the edges clear.
  • 5. Put the asparagus over the top of the onions and sprinkle with three-quarters of the crumbs and the parsley.
  • 6. Fold over 2 inches all around the pastry, then fold the long edges over to make a roll. Place the roll, seam side down, on a baking sheet and bend it around into a horseshoe shape.
  • 7. Brush with remaining melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining crumbs. Bake 40 minutes or until golden.
  • 8. Garnish with parsley sprigs, lemon slices and asparagus tips.
  • 9. Combine yogurt and herb dressing ingredients and serve with strudel.
