       1 pk (or 1 tablespoon)  yeast
    1/4 c  warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
    1/3 c  sugar
      1 ts ground cardamom
    1/4 ts salt
      1    egg

  bowl.  Mix well.  Add the yeast mixture, flours,
  raisins and nuts. Mix well. Add enough extra flour to

  minutes. Shape into a round loaf.

  Put the dough into a lightly-oiled 8-inch-round cake
  pan.  Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm

 Christmas Savoury Strudel

      2    onions; chopped
3 tb olive oil
      2    garlic cloves -crushed
     28 oz canned tomatoes in juice
      1 ts dried basil
      3 fl red wine
      8 oz buttom mushrooms - washed & - sliced
      1    salt
      1    freshly ground black pepper
     10 oz filo pastry
      4 oz butter; melted
  3 1/2 oz roasted cashew nuts - roughly chopped

  Heat the oil in a fairly large saucepan, add the
  onions and cook them, with the lid on the pan, for
  about 10 minutes, until they are tender but not
  browned.  Add the garlic, the tomatoes together with
  their liquid, the basil and the wine.  Let the mixture
  simmer gently without a lid on the pan, stirring from
  time to time, until the liquid has disappeared and it
  is quite thick - this will take about 20 minutes. Add
  the mushrooms and cook for a further 5 minutes or so,
  or until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid which
  they make has boiled away. Remove from the heat and
  season to taste.
 
  When the filling mixture has cooled, you can assemble
  the strudel, which can then be cooked straight away,
  or kept in the fridge for a few hours until you're
  ready, or in the freezer for at least a month. I find
  it easiest to assemble the studel directly on to a
  large baking sheet, which means you don't have to lift
  it later.
 
  Set the oven to 200 C/400 F/Gas Mark 6.
 
  If you have the type of filo pastry which is long and
  narrow -- about 30 x 20 cm (12 x 8 inches) -- lay two
  sheets side by side, overlapping them slightly where
  they join.  If you have the type which is quite large
  ~- about 30 cm (12 inches) or so square -- lay out one
  sheet. Either way, brush the surface with a little
  melted butter and then sprinkle with a third of the
  nuts.  Put another layer of filo pastry on top, brush
  with butter, and scatter with nuts. Repeat with
  another layer, then a final layer of filo pastry,
  which you just brush with butter. Now tip the tomato
  filling mixture on top and spread it to about 2.5 cm
  (1 inch) of the edges. Fold the edges over, to enclose
  the edge of the filling then, starting from one of the
  widest edges, roll the whole thing up like a Swiss
  Roll, trying not to let it break (although it's not
  the end of the world if it does). Brush with melted
  butter and garnish with some shreds or shapes of filo
  pastry.
 
  Put the strudel into the oven and bake for 30 minutes,
  or until golden brown.  Transfer carefully to a
  serving dish with the aid of two fish slices.
