Mushroom Strudel

Good PT huh?. No, I have not confused me. It is called Vortex and it is of mushrooms (the meaning of which in German is "swirl"), and in this case the strudel is not a dessert but a plate of salad that it can be served as the only that as a starter. The presentation is elegant, so it is suitable for, for example, a dinner with candles or with a few friends, that you leave happy, believe me. Strudel is a pastry originating from Central Europe, is especially typical in the German and Austrian, kitchen usually is filled with apples and nuts, although it is also sometimes filled with fruit and cheese. There are some advocates committed to origin Turkish of the strudel, which comes from the baclava (mother of strudel) introduced in Austria and Hungary when the Ottoman conquests, being mutated then the recipe.

The mushrooms on the other hand, are a delicious and very typical dish of the fallwhich combines very well in this case. The problem, is that they can sometimes be very faces by its scarcity due to lack of rain, and there are always easy to find, but don't worry because for this recipe you can use bags of frozen mushrooms which can be bought in any supermarket or large area.

When I cooked this dish for the first time, I could not imagine the success that would have. But it is that it is rich, it is cheap, ingredients are very easy to get, and has a magnificent presentation. All the times that I've done, and I assure you that there have been many, it has been a success. I hope you enjoy it as much as I. To the kitchen!
