RECIPE DIRECTIONS SCALED FOR SERVES: 4 PREPARE THE FILLING: Melt butter in large heavy saucepan. Add Cabbage and Bok Choy greens, currants, onion and scallions. Cook over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes or until greens begin to wilt. Add dill, cilantro and Sea Salt, and cook for 1 minute over high heat, stirring well to thoroughly incorporate herbs into vegetables. Set aside.
PREPARE THE MUSHROOMS: In a separate large skillet, melt butter. Add mushrooms and saute briefly over high heat stiring frequently until they begin to soften. Remove from heat, sprinkle with lemon juice and add to vegetable mixture. Mix well.
ASSEMBLE THE STRUDEL: Preheat oven to 400 F. Strain mushroom-vegetable mixture in colander, catching the liquid in a small bowl. (Reserve to add to soups, gravies etc.) Lightly butter cookie sheet. Place one phyllo sheet on damp towel, brush lightly with melted butter. Place second phyllo sheet on top of first. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of bread crumbs on left-hand side of phyllo. Fold right side over to encase bread crumbs, making a rectangle. Brush top lightly with melted butter. Spread ½ the vegetable mixture along the long edge, stopping 1" short of the sides. Roll as you would a jelly roll. Place seam side down on buttered baking sheet. Brush roll with melted butter. Repeat for second roll. Bake until golden; about 30 minutes.
