Preparation

Step 1

1) To prepare filling, in a large skillet, melt butter over med-low heat. Stir in thyme and caraway seeds; cook for 1 minutes. Add cabbage and onion; cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

2)
Stir in potato, chicken broth, and garlic. Cover; cook until tender, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in white beans. Cool for 15 minutes.

3) Preheat oven to 375. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray.

4) To prepare pastry, unfold phyllo sheets so they lie flat. Cover sheets with plastic wrap and a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.

5) Place 1 phyllo sheet on a large piece of waxed paper. Brush with butter and sprinkle 1/2 Tbls bread crumbs. Place a second phyllo sheet on top. Brush with butter; sprinkle with bread crumbs.

6) Repeat with remaining sheets, butter and bread crumbs, ending with a phyllo sheet,

7) Spoon filling lengthwise down center of pastry to within 2" of edges. Starting with a long side and using waxed paper as an aid, roll up strudel, jelly-roll style. Brush ends with water and fold under to seal.

8) Place strudel, seam-side down, on prepared baking sheet. Brush with remaining butter. Sprinkle with caraway seeds.

9) Bake strudel until lightly golden and crisp, 25 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack and cool.
