{{RecipeIngredients

| 4 [[Bell peppers]] (red, yellow or [[Orange|orange]])
| 12 Slices [[Virginia ham]] (or similar)
| 250g ready made [[Puff pastry|puff pastry]]
| 3 teaspoons [[Sambal#Sambal Ulek (Oelek)|sambal ulek]] (oriental [[Chilli|chilli]] [[Sauce|sauce]])
| approx 3 tablespoons [[Olive oil]]
| 75ml [[Creme fraiche|crème fraîche]] (optional)
| 1 large [[Egg]], beaten
}}
''' [[Equipment]]'''
* Large covered pan ([[Saute|saute]] pan) preferably non stick
* [[Rolling pin]]
* [[Baking]] tin
* [[Greaseproof paper]]

===[[Mise en place]]===
* Slice and [[Dice|dice]] [[Bell peppers|bell peppers]] (approx 2*1cm)
* Peel and chop [[Onions|onions]]
* Cut [[Chicken|chicken]] breasts into cubes (approx 2cm)
===Method===

''' Making the [[Sauce|sauce]] (prep time 20 mins, cooking time 90 mins)'''
{{RecipeMethod
| Cover the bottom of the [[Saute|saute]] pan with [[Olive oil|olive oil]] and place on a medium heat
| Add 2 to 4 teaspoons [[Sambal#Sambal Ulek (Oelek)|sambal ulek]] and [[Fry|fry]] for 2 minutes
| Add [[Diced|diced]] [[Bell peppers|bell peppers]] and [[Fry|fry]] for 10 minutes
| Add chopped [[Onions|onions]] and [[Fry|fry]] for 10 minutes (stirring occasionally)
| Add cubed [[Chicken|chicken]] breasts, stir and cover.
| Every 15-20 minutes, stir the [[Sauce|sauce]].
| After 90 minutes, taste the [[Sauce|sauce]]. If it is too diabolical, stir in 1-2 [[Dessert|dessert]] spoons of [[Creme fraiche|crème fraîche]].
| Remove the lid and continue to apply heat to remove excess moisture.
| Leave the [[Sauce|sauce]] to cool
}}
''' Constructing the strudels'''
{{RecipeMethod
| Beat the [[Egg|egg]] in a cup or small bowl.
| Divide the [[Pastry|pastry]] into two equal halves and repeat the following steps for each half.
| Roll out the [[Pastry|pastry]] to an oblong approximately 20*30cm (dust the rolling surface and the [[Rolling pin|rolling pin]] with a little [[Plain flour|plain flour]] to make sure it does not stick)
| Make about 12 parallel cuts from each long edge to approximately one third of the width.
| Lay 6 slices of [[Ham|ham]] on top of the [[Pastry|pastry]], they should overlap each other.
| Spread the cooled [[Sauce|sauce]] on top of the [[Ham|ham]] (not too much, you need to be able to wrap the strudel up.
| First fold over the [[Ham|ham]] so that the [[Sauce|sauce]] is covered.
| Fold in each end of [[Pastry|pastry]].
| Now starting at one end, fold over alternate [[Pastry|pastry]] strips from the left and right.
| [[Brush]] the top of the [[Pastry|pastry]] strips with [[Egg|egg]] to aid adhesion.
| Now fold over the remaining [[Pastry|pastry]] strips so they overlap the first set.
| Place the finished strudel on the [[baking tray]] (preferably on a sheet of [[Grease-proof paper|grease-proof paper]]).
| [[Brush]] the strudel all over with [[Egg|egg]].
}}
''' Cooking the strudels'''
{{RecipeMethod
| Preheat the [[Oven|oven]] to 180C.
| Place the [[baking tray]] in the centre of the [[Oven|oven]].
| Cook for 25 minutes or until golden [[Brown|brown]].
}}
===Serving suggestions===
Each strudel should serve two people (or more if you are serving it as a buffet dish).

Serve with a fresh [[Salad|salad]], [[Creme fraiche|crème fraîche]] and [[Guacamole|guacamole]].
===Variations===
The same strudel construction technique can be applied to many different fillings. Use your own imagination.

My personal favourites are:
* [[Poached|poached]] [[Salmon steaks|salmon steaks]]. [[Grill]] the steaks first with [[Cayenne pepper|cayenne pepper]] or cajun [[Spices|spices]], but use [[Smoked salmon|smoked salmon]] instead of [[Ham|ham]] for the lining
* a [[Game|game]] variant using [[Venison|venison]], [[Mushrooms|mushrooms]] and [[Onions|onions]] with [[Cumberland sauce|cumberland sauce]] instead of [[Chilli|chilli]] [[Sauce|sauce]].
* If you find the whole idea of rolling out [[Pastry|pastry]] and constructing strudels too daunting, then use the [[Sauce|sauce]] instead to fill enchiladas. Grate [[Cheese|cheese]] over the top and cook them for about 15-20 minutes. Serve with [[Guacamole|guacamole]] and [[Creme fraiche|crème fraîche]].
===Chef's notes===
I tend to make 3 or 4 strudels at a time, and since I live alone they last me a few days (meaning I do not need to cook in the week). They keep very well for a few days (in the [[Fridge|fridge]]) and portions can be reheated if wrapped loosely in aluminium [[Foil|foil]] and placed in a preheated [[Oven|oven]] (180C) for 20 minutes.
