Ingredients

Filling
1 onion, chopped
2 tbl. olive oil
1 cup shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
2 tbl. parsley, finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten

Dough
1-1/2 cups flour, unsifted
1 tbl. water
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt

Directions

1. Prepare the filling: Saute chopped onion in olive oil. Add mushrooms and saute, adding walnuts, salt and pepper and a little water. Cook until liquid is absorbed. Add parsley. Bind with a beaten egg, added at the end.
2. Place flour on a board and make a well in the center. Drop the eggs, water and salt into it, working them into a flour.
3. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
4. Flour the board lightly and roll out dough to 1/8 inch thickness.
5. Cut into 3 inch squares and place 1 tablespoon of filling on each square. Fold diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges together lightly using a little water to seal them.
6. Drop into pot of boiling salted water and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes. When pastries float to top, reduce heat to medium.
