Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Saute fennel, onion, mushrooms and leeks over high heat in 2 tablespoons butter until limp, without browning. Add tomato and garlic and cook 2 minutes more.

  2. Step 2

    Add vermouth and reduce over high heat for one minute. Add cream and continue reducing while whisking. When the cream thickens (after about 1 to 2 minutes) whisk in 4 tablespoons butter. Stir in the snails. Season with salt and pepper and cool in the refrigerator until the mixture solidifies.

  3. Step 3

    Spoon out one heaping tablespoon of the snail mixture on each prepared phyllo sheet.

  4. Step 4

    Roll strudel as follows: Place filling about three inches from top of leaf; fold the three inches of dough over the filling. Fold left third of leaf over filling; fold over right third of leaf and then roll up from top. Place seam side down on baking sheet and brush with remaining 4 tablespoons melted butter. Bake 12 to 14 minutes at 425 degrees until golden.
