Instructions

1. In a pan, add 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts and a 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds. Roast them on low heat for 40 seconds and transfer to a food processor.
2. Blend on low speed until they are turn powdery. Leave them in the blender.
3. In the same pan, add 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil.
4. Add 3 cloves of garlic (crushed) and 1/4 cup of chopped onions to the oil.
5. When they begin to caramelize, add 3 cups of chopped brown mushrooms.

12. Add juice of a 1/4 of a lemon. Blend until the mixture has turned to paste.
13. Roll out the puff pastry sheet and set it on a flour-sprinkled surface. The sheet is divided into 3 parts, so, place the mixture on the right side of each part. Leave a little room on the edge for sealing.
14. Cut the puff pastry into 3 parts.
