2. 2Chop the mushrooms finely and slice the onion.
3. 3Cook the onion in olive oil over medium heat until translucent, then add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt; cook until the moisture evaporates and the mixture turns deeply browned.
4. 4Mash the black garlic with soy sauce, then stir it into the mushrooms with thyme and pepper.
5. 5Mix the cornstarch into the broth and pour it into the pan; simmer until the filling becomes glossy and thick.

Tips

• For the richest flavor, let the mushroom mixture brown undisturbed in the pan for short intervals.
• Cool the filling for a few minutes before topping so the pastry stays crisp.
