Number Of Ingredients 17

12 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
1/2 lb fresh wild mushrooms or 1/2 lb cremini mushroom
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 (15 ounce) carton low-fat ricotta cheese or 1 (15 ounce) carton fat-free ricotta cheese
3 eggs
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
freshly grated nutmeg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Clean and chop the mushrooms; chop the artichokes; combine artichokes and mushrooms in a bowl; sprinkle them with the lemon juice.
  • In a big nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil; add in onions and garlic; cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes until the onions are lightly browned.
  • Add in the artichoke-mushroom mixture; cook 25 minutes longer, stirring often.
  • Add in the broth in small amounts, waiting until it is absorbed before adding more.
  • Add in parsley and salt/pepper to taste; remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  • Mix the ricotta with the eggs, parmesan, and flour; stir in salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.
  • Preheat oven to 375°; oil a 10-inch springform pan.
  • Melt butter and mix with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil.
  • Place 1 sheet phyllo in the pan; brush lightly with the oil-butter mixture; repeat this procedure using half of the phyllo sheets, allowing the edges to hang over the sides of the pan.
  • Add the artichoke mixture, then top with the ricotta mixture.
  • Top the pie with the remaining sheets of phyllo, brushing each sheet with the oil-butter mixture.
  • Gently press all the layers together at the edge of the pan to seal; fold the edges over the center of the pie.
  • Brush with any remaining oil-butter mixture.
  • Bake 40 minutes or until golden; remove from oven and cool, uncovered.
  • Remove the pie from the pie from and place on a serving dish; cut into wedges to serve.
  • Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
