LAMB AND DRIED-TOMATO STRUDEL
Steps:
- Cover stack of phyllo with 2 overlapping sheets plastic wrap and then a damp kitchen towel.
- Make filling:
- In a small bowl pour boiling water over tomatoes and soak 5 minutes. Thinly slice mushrooms. If using brine-cured olives, pit them. Thinly slice olives. Drain tomatoes well and thinly slice.
- In a large heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste, stirring, until liquid they give off has evaporated. With a slotted spoon transfer mushrooms to a large bowl. Add lamb to skillet and cook, stirring and breaking up any lumps, until no longer pink. Transfer lamb with slotted spoon to bowl with mushrooms and discard fat. Stir tomatoes, olives, rosemary, basil, and red pepper flakes into lamb mixture and cool 10 minutes. Stir in feta, mozzarella, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat oven to 425°F and lightly grease a large shallow baking pan.
- Stack phyllo between 2 sheets of wax paper and cover with a dry kitchen towel. On a work surface arrange two 20-inch-long sheets of wax paper with long sides overlapping slightly and facing you. Put 1 sheet of phyllo on wax paper and lightly brush with oil. On this, layer and brush 5 more sheets of phyllo in same manner. (Oiled phyllo stack should be 6 sheets thick.)
- Spread half of filling in a 3-inch-wide strip, mounding it, on phyllo 4 inches above the near long side, leaving a 2-inch border at each end. Using wax paper as a guide, lift bottom 4 inches of pastry over filling, folding in ends, and tightly roll up strudel. Carefully transfer strudel, seam side down, to baking pan and lightly brush with oil. Make another strudel with remaining ingredients in same manner.
- Bake strudels in middle of oven 25 minutes, or until golden. Cool strudels to warm in pan on a rack.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND HERB STUFFED LEG OF LAMB
This was an experiment I did for Easter this year and it turned out very well. I bought the lamb already off the bone and cut it myself before stuffing. But you can ask your butcher to do this for you,he will even cut it ready for stuffing and rolling to make it easier. I made 2 stuffed pork loins as well to serve 10 of us, my lamb was 1.1kg in weight I think it would serve 4-6 people if not making with other meats, along with sides. Just so you know the way I cut my lamb I will explain this here. Mine was already looking like a mini log, I turned it over so it was skin side down on my chopping board. I cut the lamb down the center, leaving about a half inch of meat uncut. I then cut through each half, cutting through the center of each, again not going all the way through. Then I opened it out and pounded it with a meat mallet to even out thickness before spreading stuffing over and rolling back up before securing with kitchen string.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the lamb. Look for grass-fed, organic lamb if possible.
- Don't overcook the lamb. It should be cooked to medium-rare or medium, or it will become tough.
- Use a variety of vegetables in the filling. This will add flavor and texture to the strudel.
- Be sure to drain the vegetables well before adding them to the filling. This will prevent the strudel from becoming soggy.
- Use a light hand when rolling the strudel. If you roll it too tightly, it will be difficult to cut.
- Bake the strudel until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
