Not hash browns. :-)

A mushroom galette.

I had a package of mushrooms that I needed to use up, so ...

2 Tbsp. butter
10 oz. baby bella mushrooms, small ones left whole, mediums halved, larges quartered.
1/2 onion, diced
1 rib celery, diced
1 clove garlic, crushed/chopped fine
1 tsp. Better Than Bouillon (veggie flavoring paste)
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 Tbsp. corn starch
1 tsp. dried thyme
(salt if you're not using BTB, which has plenty of its own)

1 recipe 10-inch pie crust. (I follow good old Betty Crocker, but use half butter, half vegetable shortening. Should have made it part whole wheat.)

Sautee things in the logical order. Mix bouillon, water, sherry, and corn starch together and dump that and thyme into veggies. Cook until thickened. Scrape into center of pie crust. Fold outer part of crust over filling. Bake about 30 minutes at 375 degrees F or until crust looks done to your taste.

Served with tomato salad and simple steamed green beans.

Will look at the photos later but what you made sounds good.

Obviously you knew that link wouldn't work or you'd naot have
mentioned it. No photo, link is dead... unfortunate because it sounds
good. A half an onion is meaningless as onions come in all sizes...
when I buy onions I look for a bag that contains several sizes, then I
choose one sized for the amount I want... I never use part of an onion
as there is really no way to save a cut onion so that it won't stink
up your fridge and keep it from going all woofy. For a small amount
of onion I usually have a bunch of scallions because I like some in
salads and for Oriental cookery. I also always have a jar of diced
dehy onions, only needs 15 minutes to rehydrate a small amount. And
since your creation contains garlic you'd save time and effort using
shallot.
Rather than cornstarch I'd pour a couple three beaten eggs into the
mix in the already dirtied frypan. I really don't like pie crust, I'd
rather it on toast, a UK muffin, or not. Would be nice to add a diced
bell pepper too. Me, I'd eliminate the boullion, for saltiness I'd
add a cup of diced SPAM.

Rather than Google, Amazon, and other broken/slow methods may I
suggest this for posting pictures: https://postimages.org/

At least you got that part right.

It worked for me. Something must be wrong with your PC.

Works fine for me too. Just as well though, because Popeye would
say it looks like shit, then he'd start ranting and talking shit
about jewish kosher delis and what he "muchly prefers".

Followed up by a gross sex story attempting to prove he's not homo
of course.

Naturally, well after the fact, I found the recipe I had been looking for:

<https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/swiss-chard-and-mushroom-galette>

My notes say "Excellent!" double-underlined, so I guess I liked it when I made it a little more than 2 years ago. :-)

The SWAG I posted above was fine. Simpler too. C'est la vie.

Popeye has shit splattered on his glasses. He was doing a rim job
at the time.
