Recipe From
Ingredients
500g mixed mushrooms
500g strong flour, plus extra for dusting
250g unsalted butter (cold)
200g swede
400g potatoes
1 onion
1 pinch of dried rosemary
1 large egg
Method
- Tear the mushrooms into a bowl, scatter over 15g of sea salt (most of this will drain away later) and scrunch together, then leave for 30 minutes, scrunching occasionally.
- Tip the flour into a bowl with a pinch of salt, then chop and rub in the butter. Make a well in the middle, slowly pour in 200ml of cold water, then mix, pat and bring it together.
- Wrap in clingfilm and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
- After 30 minutes the mushrooms should feel quite soggy, so squeeze firmly to remove as much salty liquid as you can (the mushrooms should end up weighing around 400g).
- Peel the swede, potatoes and onion and slice into small pieces, roughly the same size and thickness as a pound coin.
- Mix the veg with the mushrooms, then add the rosemary and a few generous pinches of black pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
- Divide the pastry into 8, then roll out into 20cm rounds on a clean flour-dusted surface. Divide up the filling, then scrunch and pile it to one side of the middle, leaving a 2.5cm gap around the edges.
- Lightly brush the exposed pastry with beaten egg, fold over and press the edges down, then twist and crimp with your fingers and thumbs to seal.
- Eggwash, then place on a lined baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, or until golden. Serve with a watercress and apple salad and a dollop of English mustard.
