Fried Mushrooms
1 large field mushroom each

Vegetable Pasties
¼ medium cauliflower
½ rutabaga, diced
2 large carrots, diced
¼ lb. lentils
¼ lb. shelled peas
2 medium onions, sliced
¼ lb. mushrooms, chopped
1 zucchini, sliced
1 eggplant, sliced
1 egg
¼ pint cream
Mixed herbs and seasoning
2 - 3 oz. butter
¾ lb. short-crust pastry
Divide the cauliflower into small florets and boil with the rutabaga, carrots and lentils in salted water for 15 - 20 minutes, adding peas 3 minutes before the end. Drain and set aside. Melt some of the butter in a frying pan and fry the remaining vegetables one at a time. As they are cooked add them to the boiled and fried vegetables. Stir in the mixed herbs, seasoning, cream and beaten egg (reserving a little of the latter to brush over the pastry). Roll out pastry and divide into 4 squares, spoon vegetable mixture onto each square. Damp the edges with a little water, fold over and press firmly together. Prick with a fork, brush over with egg and place on the top shelf of a moderate oven for about 25 minutes or until pastry is cooked. Serve with salad of lettuce, sliced avocado, fennel and spring onions. Dress with vinaigrette and sprinkle with a handful of cashew nuts.
