Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Drain the sauerkraut. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the minced meat. Fry the diced bell peppers and season both with salt and pepper. Add the sauerkraut and let everything simmer for a while. Then add the herbed cream cheese, sour cream, and tomato paste, and mix well. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and a little sugar. Place the thawed sheets of puff pastry slightly overlapping one another on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roll them out. Spread the filling in the center of the puff pastry and press down lightly. Then fold in the two narrow ends. Then fold the two longer sides over the filling to completely enclose the filling. Now turn the strudel once so that the seam is facing down. Bake the strudel in the preheated oven at 200°C for about 15 minutes, then finish baking at 175°C for about 45 minutes.
