Spinach Strudel With Tomato Cream - cooking recipe

Ingredients

5 None eggs
1 tbsp olive oil
1 None onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 1/4 lb spinach
2 cups vegetable stock
3 tbsp pine nuts, toasted
3 oz Gouda cheese, grated
1 pinch nutmeg
3-4 tbsp butter
4 oz phyllo dough
3 tbsp breadcrumbs
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
3/4 cup heavy cream
2/3 lb tomatoes, diced
1 pinch granulated sugar

Preparation

Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring water to a boil over medium heat. Once the water reaches a boil, remove from heat. Let eggs sit in hot water for 12 mins, drain then run under cold water. Peel.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saucepan, add 1/2 the onion and garlic and saute for 3-4 mins, stirring. Add spinach and 3/4 cup stock, cover and simmer for 15-18 mins. Drain excess liquid from spinach and squeeze well. Combine spinach, pine nuts, cheese and nutmeg and season. Set aside.
Melt 2-3 tbsp butter. Lay a sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, damp tea towel and brush with butter. Repeat so that you have 3-4 layers of pastry. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top layer then spoon the spinach filling along one long edge, leaving a 2 inch margin. Add boiled eggs. Roll up, using the tea towel to help, then secure by brushing the final edge with butter. Place on a baking sheet and brush with remaining butter. Press gently all over.
Bake for 25-30 mins, until golden and crisp. Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp butter, add remaining onion and saute for 3-4 mins, stirring. Add tomato paste and flour and cook for 1-2 mins. Add cream and remaining stock, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 mins, stirring. Add tomatoes and sugar and season. Serve with strudel.
