Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Melt butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
Add mushrooms, tossing to coat, and sauté them until they have given up their liquid and reabsorbed it.
Add onions and garlic, and cook over medium heat until onions are translucent.
Add Flour and cook for a minute or 2 to remove raw taste
Remove the mixture from the heat, and add Wine, mixing well.
Add all other ingredients and salt and pepper to taste.
Pour mixture into crust
Using a fluted pastry wheel, or a sharp knife, slice a second pastry into strips about 1/2 – 3/4 inch wide.
Starting in the middle of the pie and working perpendicular create a lattice top weaving each consecutive strip leaving about 1/2 inch between each of the strips.
Fold the bottom pastry up and over to create a ridge of dough around the outside edge of the pie and pinch crimp the pastry between thumb and forefinger.
Bake for 40-45 minutes;
Remove from oven and let rest for 20 minutes to set.
