Apples: cut into smallish pieces.
Cheese: choose sharp cheese, like goat cheese or sharp cheddar. Cut into small pieces, smaller than the apple pieces, or crumble. You want about half the amount of the apple.
Drizzle of honey: I used about 1 Tbls. per apple in the salad.
Sprinkling of herbs: choose mild, sweetish herbs, like fennel seed or leaves, poppy seed, lavender buds, or mint.

Crust:
6 Tbsp butter
1 ½ cups flour
¼ cup milk
½ tsp dried sage, crushed
Filling:
3 cups mushrooms, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp dried fennel leaves
4 eggs
1 ½ cups milk
2 Tbsp flour
1 cup cheese, shredded or cut into chunks
butter
Preheat the oven to 375° F.
Mix the flour and sage. Cut the butter into the flour until it is crumbly. Stir in enough milk to make a dough that holds together but is not too wet. You can press the dough into a pie tin, or refrigerate it, then roll it out to make the crust.
Melt some butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and add the onions and garlic. Saute for a few minutes until the garlic has started to brown. Pour this mixture into the pie crust.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, seasonings, and cheese, until the eggs are thoroughly mixed. Pour into the pie crust.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the top is browned and the filling is solid in the center.

8 oz sliced mushrooms
7 red potatoes of variable size

Chop up the vegetables and place in a casserole dish. You can use just the beet root, or use the leaves as well. Put the beef and mushrooms over the vegetables, it's okay if it's not fully cooked at this point. Sprinkle flour over everything.
Spread the mashed potatoes over everything.
