    1/2 pound mushrooms
    1 head escarole (1/2 pound)
    margarine
    1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
    1 15 1/4- to 19-ounce can red kidney beans
    (or equivalent amount dried , soaked and cooked).
    1/4 pound Monterey Jack cheese (a soft, mild

    Monterey Jack) (1 cup)

    paprika

    Recipe



    About 1 1/4 hours (or more) before serving: Cut carrot and red pepper
    into match stick strips. Dice onion and mushrooms; coarsely slice
    escarole. In nonstick 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, in 1
    tablespoon margarine, cook carrot, red pepper, and onion 3 minutes.
    Add escarole, black pepper, thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook 2 to 3
    minutes until tender-crisp. Remove to bowl. In same skillet over
    high heat, in 1 tablespoon margarine, cook mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon
    salt until all juices are absorbed. Remove mushrooms to same bowl.
    Rinse beans; drain well. Stir beans and cheese into vegetable
    mixture. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (medium-high oven for Celsius
    folk). Melt 2 tablespoons margarine. On work surface, place 1 sheet
    of phyllo (16 inches by 12 inches); brush very lightly with some
    margarine; sprinkle with 2 teaspoons bread crumbs. Continue layering
    phyllo, brushing each sheet with margarine and sprinkling every other
    sheet with crumbs. Starting along a long side of phyllo, spoon
    vegetable mixture to about 1/2 inch from edges to cover half of
    phyllo. From vegetable side, roll phyllo jelly-roll fashion. Place
    roll, seam-side down, in jelly-roll pan. Brush with remaining melted
    margarine. Sprinkle with paprika. Cut 12 slashes on top of strudel.
    Bake 25 to 30 minutes until golden. Cool in pan 5 minutes. Slice to
    serve.

    Makes 6 main-dish servings.
