1 large onion, diced
4 to 6 ounces wild mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped chives

2/3 cup cooked rice
4 large hard boiled eggs, chopped
1 recipe Homemade Pie Crust
2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
Dash of salt
1 cup vegetable shortening
6 to 8 tablespoons ice-cold water

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a saucepan, melt butter. Add onions and mushrooms, and cook, covered, for about 5 minutes. Add parsley, chives and basil, and cook for another 3 minutes. Add rice and eggs, stirring well. Pour into one of the pie crusts and top with the other crust. Bake 45 minutes.
Place the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the shortening and cut with a pastry blender, or use your hands. Add the water, a tablespoon at a time, kneading until the dough is smooth. Roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan.
