MMMMM--------------------------ASSEMBLY-------------------------------
          Chilled pie dough for a
          - double-crust 9" pie;
          - homemade or store-bought
     1 lg Egg; beaten

 * Since I am not a vegetarian I used beef stock - UDD

 Set the oven @ 375+XF/190+XC.

 FOR THE MUSHROOM GRAVY: Heat 2 tablespoons each of olive
 oil and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook the
 onion until soft, 10 -15 minutes.

 Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring continuously for
 1 minute.

 Add the cremini or button mushrooms and cook until
 softened and the liquid has evaporated.

 Add vegetable stock and thyme sprigs and simmer until
 reduced by half, about 30 minutes.

 Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and discard
 the solids.

 Make a roux. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter
 in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and
 cook, whisking continuously, until the flour begins to
 smell nutty, thickens and lightly browns.

 Whisk in the reserved broth, increase the heat to
 medium-high, whisking continuously. Bring to a simmer
 and then remove from the heat. Season with salt and
 pepper to taste.

 FOR THE FILLING: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large
 skillet on medium heat and saut++ the onions, carrots,
 and fennel until soft. Add the mushrooms and cook until
 browned. Season with salt and pepper.

 TO ASSEMBLE: On a floured surface, roll out the pie
 pastry into a circle big enough to fit into a nine-inch
 pie pan with a couple of inches of overhang. Gently fit
 it into the pie pan without stretching the dough. Place
 the pastry-lined pan in the refrigerator while rolling
 out the top crust.

 Roll the remaining half of the pastry into a circle
 large enough to completely cover the pie pan with a
 couple of inches of overhang.

 Remove the pastry-lined pie pan from the refrigerator.
 Fill with the sauteed mushroom mixture. Top the mushroom
 filling with the mushroom gravy.

 Gently cover the pie with the top crust. Bring the
 bottom overhang over the top overhang and trim off any
 excess. Pinch the edges with your fingers or a fork to
 seal, then make a few cuts on the top to allow the
 filling to vent. Brush the top of the pie with the
 egg wash.

 Place the pie on a rimmed baking sheet and bake in the
 oven for about 45 minutes, until the crust is nicely
 browned.

 Makes 1 nine-inch pie

 Serves 6 - 8
