Mushroom, Potato, and Onion Pasties


Makes 4 pasties.

Ingredients:
1 batch of pie crust dough
1/2 cup onion, chopped small
2 tablespoons oil
1 3/4 cup potato, chopped small
1 clove garlic
1 cup mushrooms, chopped small
2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves
salt and pepper

Chill the pie dough until ready to use.


Fry the onion in the oil over medium heat for 5 minutes, then add the potato and garlic. Cook over medium-low heat until the potatoes are softened.  Add the mushrooms and cook for a few more minutes, until the mushrooms are soft.  Remove from heat. Add the parsley, salt, and pepper.  

Preheat oven to 400F.

Divide pie dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each into a circle. Spoon a quarter of the filling on to each circle.  Fold over the pastry and press edges together. Make a couple of small steam-holes in each pasty and place them on a baking sheet.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
