Once upon a time...dining in the woods

Once upon a time there was a little girl called Little Red Riding hood...in this story she had red boots instead (maybe she was partly Puss in Boots). She was so excited about going out into the woods and picking mushrooms. She loved walking around in her little red wellington boots that she had had since the early nineties. She wandered around with her weaved basket hoping to find some of the delights that the autumn season brings us...mushrooms. She listened to the birds chirp, the woodpecker pecking on some dried wood and watched as the squirrels were scurrying by. She picked and picked until her basket full of mushrooms; there were chanterelles, yellowfoot, black trumpets and her favourite sheep polyphore.

She was so excited and couldn't wait to make a mushroom pie. Once the pie was done she packed her basket and headed back into the forest to enjoy the pie with her new friends :)

For the crust:
150g butter (room tempered)
2.5 dl all purpose flour
0.5dl oats
salt

Filling:
1 onion
70g Kale
250g mushrooms
40g goats cheese
100g grated cheese (use a medium strong cheese that melts and crisps up like a Emmental or Västerbotten)
2 dl cream
3 eggs

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Pinch together the butter, flour, oats and salt until you get a pastry dough.
Press into a baking form.
Bake the pastry for a few minutes until it creates a bit of a crust. Remove from the oven.

Sautee the onion in some butter or oil until soft. Add the mushrooms and last the Kale. Sautee until all the ingredients are a bit soft and the mushrooms aren't too soggy.
Put the onion, mushroom and kale onto the pastry and crumble on some goats cheese.

Break the eggs into a bowl and whisk the egg a bit with a fork to break the yolk. Mix in the cream. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour the mixture into the baking tray.
Add the grated cheese on top.

Bake in the oven until the cheese has melted and become golden brown approximately 30-40 mins

I have to say this is one of the most fun days I had. I really enjoyed spending my whole day in the woods. It was so much fun to set up the dining table between the trees. It was also a lot of hard work. I don't know how many times I was laying in the bilberry bushes, tripping over branches and slipping on moss :D But boy was it all worth it. We should all set up a table once in a while out in the wild and just enjoy eating in  the beautiful surroundings.
