Leek Strudels
Yield: Makes 9 servings
Ingredients:
Nonstick cooking spray

2
pounds leeks, cleaned and sliced (white parts only)

1/4
teaspoon caraway seeds

1/4
teaspoon salt

1/8
teaspoon white pepper

1/4
cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth

3
sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed

Butter-flavored nonstick cooking spray



Preparation:
1.
Coat large skillet with nonstick cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Add leeks; cook and stir about 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in caraway seeds, salt and pepper. Add chicken broth; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, about 5 minutes or until broth is absorbed. Let cool to room temperature.

2.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut each sheet of phyllo dough lengthwise into thirds. Spray 1 piece phyllo dough with nonstick cooking spray; spoon 2 tablespoons leek mixture near bottom of piece. Fold 1 corner over filling to make triangle. Continue folding, as you would fold a flag, to make triangular packet.

3.
Repeat with remaining phyllo dough and leek mixture. Place packets on ungreased baking sheet; lightly coat tops of packets with butter-flavored cooking spray. Bake about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
