There are a lot of strudels on the site, but I found only one with chocolate, and it doesn’t look like mine, so I add my own, in case someone likes it. And strudel is an excellent dish, suitable for freezing and subsequent fast cooking, really does not require defrosting.
In this recipe, I just tried to connect East with West, and strudel with baklava. I really wanted to cook some oriental sweet based on bulgur (just when I was cooking it earlier – it seemed to me that this porridge has a very “confectionery” taste, and some sweet pastries are asking for it!).
Who and when came up with the idea of stretching raw, specially prepared dough to the thickness of tissue paper, and then wrapping it in a thick layer of fruit filling? It is said that the history of this amazing strudel cake has its roots in Byzantium and even Ancient Greece. It received its current name much later, in the XVIII century, from German confectioners. They made him the king of the pies of that time, contesting the palm among his cakes with the Viennese bakers. German, Austrian, Hungarian, Czech confectionery successfully sold all kinds of strudels – with nuts, apples, cottage cheese, cherries, strawberries, poppy seeds, raisins. In those days strudels were not only sweet, but also with mushroom, potato, cabbage and even fish fillings. Currently, preference is given to strudel for tea. Strudels have conquered the hearts of confectioners by the fact that they harden for a long time (the property of the dough to exhale) and they have a large proportion of filling – you can not be afraid to get fat. In addition, strudel dough can be prepared without fats, which is very important both for people who follow a diet and for those who suffer from diathesis.
I really love cheesecakes, just really! But I like salted fish better. I tried to combine these two options. I really liked the result. Try to cook this to enjoy a variety of flavors at once.
Today I want to treat you to a very tasty shortbread pie with meat and vegetables. It is incredibly tender, juicy, with crispy sides and a double bottom. Healthy and perfectly combined ingredients will make you reach for the next piece. I cooked it today for two with the expectation that: we will have dinner, have breakfast tomorrow morning and wrap up a piece of your beloved for work. To sum up: I ate a piece for dinner, and another, and another.. I ate almost the whole huge pie!
