Question
What blessing is recited over an onion and mushroom pie that also contains a small amount of flour to stabilize the pie? Thank you in advance.
Answer
Hello,
Although the general rule is 'anything that contains the five species of grain', one recites the blessing "borei minei mezonot" over it. Even if the flour is a minority of the mixture. However, flour that is added to the mixture solely to bind it and not to impart flavor does not change the blessing.
Regarding the onions and mushrooms, it depends on the majority. If it is mostly onions, the blessing is "ha'adama". If it is mostly mushrooms, the blessing is "shehakol".
