Mushroom Gallete

Think of this as an open face savoury pie for mushroom lovers and vegetarians! I read this recipe somewhere a long time ago but I modified it to suit my tastes. The original recipe called for crescent dough as the crust so by all means use that as a time saver.

Here's what I did: 

Preheat oven to 400F

First made the pie dough. I like the recipe from Epicurous for this but you can use any standard good old pie dough recipe that you have.

For the filling: I used white button and baby bellas (my favorite mushrooms), fresh thyme, garlic, onions, salt and pepper! 

Sauté onions until caramalized, add garlic and thyme. When garlic is fragrant, add thyme, mushrooms and cook until done. Add salt and pepper to taste! Let cool.

To make the Gallete: roll pie dough, add filling and roll edges to make a bowl. Bake in 325 to 400 degree oven for about 30 mins (start with 400 for 10 mins and then lower temp and bake until done)

Sriracha Shrimp!

Need I say more? One of the easiest and quickest recipe I found on Pinterest. It is very tasty too.

The link to the recipe is at the bottom of this post. Here is what I changed:

- I love butter but I am not a cook my food with butter girl. So I added tiny bit of butter for flavor and used Olive Oil

- Added red onions before sautéing garlic in the oil

- Skipped the Jamaican long pepper coz didn't have any

- Topped off with cilantro coz well I had a lot of it :)

And here is the original recipe:
