Makes 8 Servings
For Pastry:
- 1 ounce unsalted butter (2 tablespoons)
- 1/4 pound mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1/2 pound ground veal
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1/4 pound Fontina, grated (about 1 cup)
- 1/4 cup milk
- Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 Cream Short Pastry
- 1 egg mixed with 2 tablespoons milk (egg wash)
For Garnish:
- 1 cup crème fraîche
- 2 cups chutney
- In a large sauté pan, heat butter, sauté mushrooms until softened. Transfer to a large bowl.
- In the same pan, sauté ground meats until no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the meat with a slotted spoon and transfer to the bowl. Pour off most of the remaining fat and sauté onions if desired.
- Mix the onion, parsley, grated cheese, and milk into bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cool to room temperature.
- Cut pastry dough in half and roll out each half to a 8" x 14" rectangle. Lay one sheet of pastry on a parchment or silicone mat lined baking sheet. Form meat mixture into firm and compact narrow loaf down the center of the dough. Leave a 1-inch border of pastry around the meat.
- Ease the second sheet of pastry over the meat. Trim and press the edges with your fingers or a fork. Roll out scraps and cut into decorative shapes.
- Brush pastry with egg wash, decorate with the shapes, and brush with egg wash again. Prick the top of the crust with a fork 2 or 3 times. Chill for 10 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 45 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to rest 30 minutes before slicing. Cut into thick slices and serve with crème fraiche and chutney.
