Ingredients
-
250g chargrilled eggplant slices
-
200g chargrilled zucchini slices
-
400g chargrilled capsicum slices (red and yellow, if possible)
-
100ml basil pesto (see notes)
-
375g packet of puff pastry
-
300g haloumi, sliced
-
1 egg yolk, beaten
-
1 tablespoon parmesan
Method
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 190°C.
-
Step 2If the chargrilled vegetables are from a deli, pat dry with paper towel.
-
Step 3Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 20 x 30cm rectangle. Cut a 5cm strip from the pastry and set aside. Layer the vegetables and haloumi down 1 long side of the pastry, spreading a little pesto between each layer. Brush the outside edges of the pastry with a little water and fold over the other long side to enclose. Press edges together to seal, then tuck beneath strudle to form a parcel.
-
Step 4Roll out the remaining pastry strip to increase width by 2cm. Cut lengthways into strips and use to garnish the strudel. Alternatively you can use a netting tool* to roll over the strip to form a lattice. Brush the pastry with the egg yolk and dust with the parmesan.
-
Step 5Bake at 190°C for 25 minutes until golden brown. Set aside to rest for 15 minutes before serving with remaining pesto.

To make pesto: Place 175g fresh basil, 50g pine nuts, 3 cloves garlic and 125g grated parmesan in a food processor and process to combine. Gradually add 200ml oil in a thin, steady stream and process until you have a smooth paste. Store in an airtight jar (with a layer of olive oil covering pesto), in the fridge for 5 days.
