Tonight I pulled one out and gave it a whirl. Mushroom Strudel with Cashew Creme sounds good doesn't it?
Well, it's a poor workman who blames her tools, but I'm gonna go ahead and toss out some of the blame for this not very beautiful dinner I put on the table.
First, the recipe did not give approximate cooking times for anything, a fact I noticed about an hour and a half before the designated dinner time. So what I thought would be a quick recipe, ended up taking long enough for me to need to take shortcuts.
Second, my food processor is a tiny, old thing that cannot handle turning solids into liquids. Hence, the cashew creme turned out more like a lumpy cashew gravy.
Lastly, I apparently do not do well with phyllo dough. Enough said.
So, it was not beautiful, and it didn't taste amazing, but it was edible. And that's what's important, I guess.
