Foragers' Pie

Parve

Although the Bible orders us to feast, the cooks in the house need food that is easy to prepare, especially on Passover eve. Mushrooms have always been a focus of Jewish food and this foragers' pie would be perfect for a pre-seder meal, when eating matzo and other flours is forbidden and the Passover meal is still hours away. This dish will also suit vegetarians as a main course for Passover.

Variations

For a bit of heat, add 1 finely chopped chile to the mushroom mixture. For a more substantial vegetarian main course, add a layer of roasted peppers and eggplant. You can also add 1 1/2 cups grated cheese to the potato mixture (or simply grate it over the top), which will make the dish milchig.
