Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C.

  • Slowly fry onions until soft, then add sugar and cook until caramelised.
  • Mix oil, 175ml lukewarm water, and vinegar in a bowl.
  • Combine flour, salt, egg, and the water mixture to form a soft dough.
  • Knead the dough for 15 minutes, then rest in an oiled bowl for 30 minutes.
  • Toss roasted vegetables with lemon juice, zest, and fresh herbs.
  • Mix couscous and bouillon with 150ml boiling water and soak for five minutes.
  • Fluff couscous with oil and seasoning, then combine with roasted vegetables.
  • Roll and stretch the dough on a floured tablecloth until paper thin.
  • Brush the pastry with melted salted butter.
  • Layer the filling, half the cheese, couscous, and remaining cheese over one third of the pastry.
  • Roll the strudel using the tablecloth and seal the edges.
