Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 large onions -- coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
2 1/2 pounds portabella mushrooms -- brushed clean, stems removed, and caps coarsely chopped
salt -- to taste
1/2 cup fresh mint
1 package phyllo dough sheets -- or homemade or Macedonian phyllo dough, at room temperature
olive oil -- for brushing the phyllo

Heat the butter in a large skillet, and cook the onions over medium-low heat, stirring, until wilted, about 10 minutes. Add the paprika and stir to mix. Add the mushrooms, season with salt, increase the heat a little, and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the mint. Let the filling cool slightly.

Preheat the oven to 375F. Lightly oil an 18-inch round pizza or baking pan. If using Macedonian phyllo, on a lightly floured work surface roll out half of the dough into a circle about 24-inches in diameter with a lightly floured rolling pin or dowel and fit into the bottom of an oiled pan.

If using basic phyllo, divide the dough into 6 to 8 balls. Roll each ball into a circle about 24 inches in diameter. Layer half the phyllo sheets into the bottom of the pan, leaving the excess to hang over the edge and brushing each with oil.

Spread the filling evenly over the phyllo and cover with the remaining sheet if using Macedonian phyllo or the remaining 3 or 4 sheets if using basic phyllo. Brush each with oil. Roll in the edges to form a crust and score the pie into serving pieces. Bake until the pastry is golden, about 50 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool in the pan, and serve.

Note: You may reduce the ingredients by half and bake the pie in a 9-inch or 10-inch round pan.

The pie may also be made with commercial phyllo. For every sheet of homemade phyllo, use 3 to 4 sheets of commercial phyllo.

Makes 12 to 14 servings

AuthorNote: The woods around Nymphaio in central Macedonia burst with mushrooms several time a year. Locals here eat mostly portobellos. While almost any mushrooms - including plain old supermarket button mushrooms - will do for this dish, portobellos lend a meatiness to the filling unmatched by other varieties.
