At Home: Strudel & Roasted Vegetables

At Home With Marianne's Kitchen: Strudel & Roasted Vegetables

Time for an easy but wonderfully delicious dinner.

Strudel & Roasted Vegetables

Thanks to Tom Ruhland, it’s another fabulous spinach, feta, artichoke, & red pepper strudel, with feta, ricotta, mozzarella, provolone & parmesan plus (thanks to Linda) the veggies & highlighted with garlic, lemon juice, & spices. Brimming with filling, I baked it to crispy golden brown after giving it a brush with some egg wash.

Della reminded me I had some zucchini in the fridge, so as long as I already had a ‘hot’ oven going, It was time for roasted veggies. The strudel is quite filling, so zucchini & sweet onion, tossed with a bit of gremolata oil (more lemon highlights!) made a side that wasn’t too heavy. Pop everything in the oven...then wait til the kitchen smells great...& dinner is ready.

What an easy but fabulous dinner. Spinach, feta, artichoke strudel with red pepper and many kinds of cheese...with a side of roasted zucchini and sweet onion in gremolata olive oil.

An easy side...slice a couple of zucchini and a sweet onion...toss with olive oil of your choice...and give the whole thing a hot oven
