Directions
FOR THE FILLING
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Sauté the onions, asparagus, bell peppers and mushrooms for 2 minutes. Add the spinach, peas and rice. Combine well and cool slightly before adding feta cheese, dill and seasonings.
Assembly: Lay a sheet of filo dough out on a sheet of parchment or waxed paper and spray lightly with vegetable oil. Repeat this process until five sheets are stacked. Spread filling from left to right side in a layer about 3 inches wide. Fold ends in and roll up dough, forming a log. Use the paper to assist in the rolling process. Press uniformly to make a strudel with even sides. Spray outside surface with vegetable oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake for 40 minutes in a 350-degree oven until golden. Serves 4-6.
