To prepare these delicious mushroom pastries, we start by cleaning the mushrooms. It is essential to remove any impurities with the help of a brush or a damp cloth, then we chop them finely, ensuring that we get uniform pieces for even cooking. In a pot, we add the chopped mushrooms and put them on low heat, along with a pinch of salt, which will help release their natural juices. We stir occasionally to prevent sticking and to ensure that all the liquid released by the mushrooms evaporates completely, resulting in a concentrated and flavorful filling.
Meanwhile, we take care of the onions. We peel a few onions and then finely chop them, making sure they are not too large, so they integrate perfectly into the filling. In a skillet, we add the oil and put the onions on low heat, stirring constantly. The cooking process will transform the onions into a glossy, sweet, and aromatic mass that will significantly enrich our filling. Once the onions are ready, we combine them with the sautéed mushrooms, adding salt and pepper to taste. This is the perfect time to add a tablespoon of flour mixed with baking powder and a beaten egg. This combination will bind the ingredients, ensuring that the filling does not fall apart during baking.
Now we turn our attention to the puff pastry, which we previously thawed. We roll it out on a clean surface and with a sharp knife, cut squares of about 10 cm on each side. Inside each square, we cut a shape with only two corners, creating a pocket for the filling. We fold one corner over the opposite one and repeat the process with the other corner, achieving an elegant shape. If you encounter difficulties in this process, feel free to consult images for guidance.
Once we have formed all the pastries, we fill them with the mushroom and onion mixture. It is important not to overfill them, to allow the dough to rise nicely during baking. We brush each pastry with a beaten egg to achieve a golden and appetizing crust. We place the pastries on a tray lined with parchment paper and put them in the preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius, letting them bake for about 10-12 minutes or until they become golden and crispy.
After taking them out of the oven, we let the pastries cool slightly before enjoying them. These delicious mushroom pastries are perfect as an appetizer, snack, or even as a main course, being delicious both warm and cold. Preparing them brings joy at every stage, and the final result is truly tasty!
