Instructions
For our strudel we use a little polyunsaturated oil instead of butter and in this way provide the perfect dessert for any cholesterol watcher. How to cook: 1. Brush two sheets of pastry with oil and stack alternately with un boiled sheets. 2. Combine strawberries, raspberries and sugar, toss to combine. 3. Sprinkle pastry with almonds, top with berry mixture, leaving 2.5 cm around all edges. Fold in the long edges of the pastry. Starting from the short edge roll up the strudel. Place on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Bake at 200°C for 20-25 minutes or until golden. Just before serving sprinkle with icing sugar. 581 kilo joules (138 calories) per serve Medium Fat 6. 1 g Low Cholesterol 0 mg High Fibre 4.0 g Low Sodium 77 mg COOK'S TIP It is easy to lower fat intake when using filo pastry. Instead of brushing every sheet of pastry with oil, just brush every second sheet, the result will still be crispy filo pastry but you have reduced fat content by half.
