Use portobello mushrooms for this. They are meaty and make for a very substantial pie. You can omit the feta for a vegan version of this pie

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 medium or large onions, coarsely chopped
Salt to taste
1 1/2 pounds mushrooms, preferably portobellos or a mix of wild mushrooms, portobellos and regular mushrooms, trimmed and coarsely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 1/3 cup)
12 sheets phyllo dough

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat and add the onions. Cook, stirring, until they begin to wilt, and add salt to taste. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook the onions, stirring from time to time, until they are very soft and beginning to caramelize, about 15 minutes. Add the mushrooms, turn the heat up to medium-high, and cook until they begin to sweat and soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir together until fragrant, about 1 minute, and stir in the paprika. Continue to cook until the mushrooms are tender and most of the liquid in the pan has evaporated, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, taste and adjust salt, and stir in the mint, parsley, feta and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Brush a 10- or 12-inch tart pan or cake pan with olive oil and layer in 7 sheets of phyllo dough, placing them not quite evenly on top of one another so that the edges overlap the sides of the pan all the way around. Brush each sheet with olive oil (or a mixture of olive oil and melted butter) before adding the next sheet. Fill with the mushroom and onion mixture. Bring the overhanging edges of the phyllo in over the filling, brushing each sheet with more olive oil, then layer 5 more sheets of dough over the top, brushing each sheet with olive oil. Crimp the edges into the sides of the pan. Pierce the top of the pie in several places with a sharp knife. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature. Recrisp the crust, if necessary, in a low oven for 10 to 20 minutes

Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 tablespoons butter, divided
1 ½ pounds baby bella (crimini) mushrooms, sliced
¼ cup chopped sweet onion
½ lemon, juiced
½ teaspoon dried thyme
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ¼ cups Swanson® Chicken Broth
⅓ cup Marsala wine
2 tablespoons half-and-half
salt and pepper to taste
1 (17.3 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch pie plate with non-fat cooking spray.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, and onions, stirring occasionally, until liquid from the mushrooms has cooked down, about 10 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and thyme and simmer 2 minutes.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a separate saucepan. Whisk in flour and stir constantly for about 1 minute. Gradually add the Swanson® Chicken Broth, Marsala, and half-and-half, whisking until sauce is smooth and thickened, about 3 minutes. The sauce should be very thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the mushroom mixture to the sauce broth/Marsala mixture; stir well.
  • Roll out one sheet of puff pastry to fit the pie plate. Press evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie plate; trim the excess pastry. Spoon the mushroom mixture into the pastry shell.
  • Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry, and place on top. Trim excess, and crimp the edge to seal. Cut a few slits in the top for steam to escape. Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and mushroom mixture is bubbly, about 40 minutes. Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving.

VIDALIA ONION AND MUSHROOM PIE



Vidalia Onion and Mushroom Pie image

This pie is an onion-lovers dream! You can use a store-bought frozen 9-inch deep-dish pie shell for this but you will have to reduce the Vidalia onions to one, and the sliced mushrooms to 2 cups. Prep time does not include making the pie pastry.

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 medium or large onions, coarsely chopped
Salt to taste
1 1/2 pounds mushrooms, preferably portobellos or a mix of wild mushrooms, portobellos and regular mushrooms, trimmed and coarsely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 1/3 cup)
12 sheets phyllo dough

Steps:

  • 1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat and add the onions. Cook, stirring, until they begin to wilt, and add salt to taste. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook the onions, stirring from time to time, until they are very soft and beginning to caramelize, about 15 minutes.

Continue to cook until the mushrooms are tender and most of the liquid in the pan has evaporated, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, taste and adjust salt, and stir in the mint, parsley, feta and freshly ground pepper to taste. 2. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Brush a 10- or 12-inch tart pan or cake pan with olive oil and layer in 7 sheets of phyllo dough, placing them not quite evenly on top of one another so that the edges overlap the sides of the pan all the way around. Brush each sheet with olive oil (or a mixture of olive oil and melted butter) before adding the next sheet. Fill with the mushroom and onion mixture.

Recrisp the crust, if necessary, in a low oven for 10 to 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use fresh and high-quality ingredients. If possible, use wild mushrooms for a more intense flavor.
  • When sautéing the mushrooms, make sure to cook them over medium-high heat until they are nicely browned. This will help to develop their flavor and create a crispy texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms. If you do, they will steam instead of brown.
  • To make sure the pie crust is flaky, use cold butter and work it into the flour quickly. Avoid overworking the dough, as this will make it tough.
  • Blind-bake the pie crust before filling it. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • When assembling the pie, layer the ingredients evenly and don't overfill the crust. Otherwise, the pie will be difficult to cut and serve.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

With its savory filling and flaky crust, this traditional Greek mushroom and onion pie is a delicious and satisfying dish. Perfect for a hearty meal or a special occasion, this pie is sure to please everyone at the table. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, this recipe is easy to follow and yields delicious results.
