Instructions
1
To begin making the velvety Mushroom Mini Pie preparation guide, get all the items required ready and make the pie crust according to the "short crust tart pastry pastry mix" preparation guide.
2
store in the fridge the pie pastry mix for a couple of hours.While the pie pastry mix is refrigerating, we will proceed to make the mushroom pie filling. To make the pie filling, scalding up fat in a heavy bottomed skillet, introduce the shallot and saute until it gets browned and close to caramelized.
3
The caramelized savor of the onions, brings out the mouth-watering umami profile in the Mushroom pie.Once the onions are browned, introduce the garlic and the mushrooms and saute on high scalding up until the mushrooms get cooked through.
4
The mushrooms release a lot of moisture while culinary preparation as well.
5
Allow the moisture from the mushrooms to evaporate. Once done, introduce the table salt, pepper, basil and froth.
6
agitate well to combine.
7
You should have a thick mushroom mixture.
8
If you feel it's a little more liquidy, then introduce a teaspoon of cornflour to thicken the mushroom pie filling.
9
Turn off the scalding up and keep aside.Once the pie pastry mix has firmed well in the refrigerator, it's time to roll and shape them into pies.You can cook thoroughly the mini pies in large muffin moulds or pie tart pans. coat these moulds with shortening and keep aside.
10
Preheat the oven to 180 C.Dust the kitchen platform with ground mix and roll the pie pastry mix into a large rectangle. Roll the chilled pastry mix on a floured work surface, and cut 10 cm circles with the help of a cookie cutter.
11
The circle should be the size that will fit into the pie skillet or the muffin skillet.Once you have cut out the circles of pastry mix, press one circle into each mould cavity till the edge and cut off the rest.
12
If you think the pastry mix is bigger and tends to fold inside the cavity, pinch the pastry mix well so that it merges well.
13
Do this with the remaining pie pastry mix as well.Spoon the mushroom pie filling into each of the pie pastry mix cavities.
14
The next step is to lid the top of the pie with pastry mix.To lid the top you will need more pastry mix, so just measure the top and use a cookie cutter of that size to cut out the pastry mix. Roll out the remaining pastry mix, and stamp out circles and use these circles to lid the top of the pie.
15
Pinch the sides of the bottom and the top pastry mix to seal the pie from all sides. Make small insertions with a knife on the top of the pie to help release of air while the pie is baking.Now beat an egg, and brush over the edges of the pastry pastry mix, also brush the pastry lid and pinch both them together. Also brush the top of the pastry lid with the egg wash and scatter sesame seeds from top.
16
If you want to make it eggless, you can use whole milk as well. cook thoroughly the Mushroom Pie in a preheated oven for 28 to 30 moments at 180 degree celsius until you notice the crust is browned, golden and crisp.
17
Once done, remove from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 moments before you are ready to present.present the velvety Mushroom Pie along with a container of Lemongrass bouillon, a Garlic Bread and a glass of wine for a weeknight dinner or even when you have friends over for parties.
