Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- For the filling:
- 2 cups mushrooms (cremini, button, or portobello), finely chopped
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- For the pastry:
- 1 sheet of vegan puff pastry (ensure it’s dairy-free)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or non-dairy butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the filling: Sauté the onions, garlic, and mushrooms in olive oil until softened. Add spinach, walnuts, soy sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook for a few minutes until the spinach wilts.
- Assemble the Wellington: Roll out the puff pastry. Spoon the mushroom mixture in the center, then fold the sides over. Seal and brush with olive oil or non-dairy butter.
- Bake: Place the Wellington seam-side down on the baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Serve: Slice and serve hot with roasted vegetables or a side salad.
Notes
- Cool filling: Allow the mushroom mixture to cool slightly before wrapping it in the pastry to avoid soggy crust.
- Quality pastry: Choose a high-quality, vegan puff pastry for the best results.
- Flavor variations: Feel free to add extra vegetables like roasted bell peppers or zucchini to the filling.
