Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onions, cover with a lid, and cook for about 10 minutes until tender but not browned.
  3. Stir in the garlic cloves and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the canned tomatoes with their juice, dried basil, and red wine to the pan.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick.
  6. Add the sliced button mushrooms to the sauce and cook for 5 minutes until tender and excess liquid has evaporated.
  7. Remove from heat, season with salt and pepper to taste, and allow the filling to cool completely.
  8. Preheat the oven to 200ðC (400ðF/Gas Mark 6) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  9. Lay out two sheets of filo pastry side by side on the baking sheet, overlapping them slightly.
  10. Brush the pastry lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with one-third of the chopped roasted cashews.
  11. Layer another sheet of filo on top, brush with butter, and scatter with more nuts.
  12. Repeat this layering process until you have a final top layer of filo pastry brushed with butter.
  13. Spread the cooled mushroom and tomato filling over the pastry, leaving a 2.5 cm (1 inch) border around the edges.
  14. Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling to seal it.
  15. Starting from one of the wider ends, carefully roll the strudel up tightly.
  16. Brush the outside of the roll with remaining melted butter and garnish with shredded filo pieces if desired.
  17. Bake for 30 minutes or until the strudel is golden brown and crisp.
  18. Let cool for a few minutes, then transfer carefully to a serving dish using two spatulas.
