Mushroom tarragon strudel v1.2

Details
  • Serves 6
Notes
  • Fyi port is not an ideal substitute, I used all of the mushrooms in my fridge but the mix is probably flexible
  • I cooked the button mushrooms separately to retain their pale colour a bit more as well, the structure was good.

  • 2 onions, thinly sliced
