Portobello mushroom Wellington

8th August 2019 by letseatsmart Leave a Comment

Create a spectacular, show-stopping vegan centrepiece with this meat-free version of the classic Wellington packed with flavoursome Portobello mushrooms and spinach wrapped in delicious flaky puff pastry.

This vegan Portobello mushroom Wellington is comforting, warm and super filling – basically a hug in the form of a recipe. Perfect for a Sunday lunch or a special occasion.

This Portobello Mushroom Wellington is:

  • Super tasty & very filling
  • Enough of a ‘showstopper’ to make the meat-eaters insanely jealous
  • Relatively easy to make – a lot of the store-bought puff pastry these days is vegan friendly, so all you have to worry about is the filling!
  • Vegan friendly
  • Perfect served with creamy mashed potato, green vegetables and a rich onion gravy. Yummy!

Portobello mushroom Wellington

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large onion, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 small leek, finely chopped
  • 300 g baby spinach
  • 600 g Portobello mushrooms
  • 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/2 lemon juice only
  • 1 tbsp coriander seeds
  • 6 springs of thyme, leaves only, finely chopped
  • 500 g

    ready to roll vegan puff pastry

  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 medium potato, thinly sliced

For the glaze:

  • 1 tbsp non-dairy milk
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • In a large frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil, add in the onion, season with salt and pepper and cook until soft and translucent.
  • Add the chopped leek and cook for 1 minute before adding the spinach leaves. Cook until wilted. Transfer into a large bowl and leave to cool.
  • Return the pan to the heat and add in the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook until soft. Once cooked, transfer into a food processor, add the lemon juice and pulse for a few seconds until crumbly (be careful not to over-process as we don’t want the mixture to be too smooth).
  • In a pestle and mortar, bash the coriander seeds until fine. Stir into the mushroom mixture together with finely chopped thyme leaves.
  • Preheat the oven to 200C | Gas Mark 6.
  • Roll out the puff pastry on a sheet of baking parchment
  • Spread the caramelised onion, leek and spinach mixture over the middle third of the pastry, leaving a 3 cm border at the edge of the pastry for sealing. Add a layer of the mushroom mixture, then a layer of potato slices. Spread the dijon mustard over the potato slices.
  • Carefully roll the pastry over the top of the mushroom mixture until you have a log and the filling is completely covered – the pastry should overlap in the middle.
  • To make the vegan ‘egg wash’ glaze, simply combine the dairy-free milk with olive oil.
  • Using a pastry brush, lightly cover the pastry with the glaze making sure you go over the pastry join to seal it properly. Fold the ends to ensure the filling does not leak out. Roll over the log so that the seam is facing the bottom and brush the other side with the glaze. Using a sharp knife, score the top of the Wellington diagonally to create a checkered pattern.
  • Place in the freezer for around 5 minutes, then brush again with another layer of glaze.
  • Bake in the middle of the oven for 35-45 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with vegan gravy!

If you were a pancake, which pancake would you be? If you were a pancake, which pancake would you be? 🥞  I think I would be a classic crepe. Thin, sweet and delicate 🤣🤣  Easy Vegan Crepes (4 ingredients!)
Servings: 10 crepes
Ingredients
* 1 3/4 cup plain flour
* 1 1/2 cup plant milk
* 1 tsp maple syrup
* 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
For frying
* coconut oil
Instructions
* In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients until there are no lumps. It’s easier to pop it all in a blender and blend for 30-60 seconds, but a hand whisk is fine.
* Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat and pour the batter onto the pan. Tip and rotate the pan to spread the batter as thinly as possible.
* Fry for 1-2 minutes before flipping.
* Serve with your favourite toppings, I went with whipped up vegan double cream, chocolate sauce and blueberries.

Make your own 5-ingredient salted caramel ‘nakd’ bars at home (vegan + gluten free)  Ingredients
* 200 g dates soaked for a couple of hours, drained
* 140 g peanut butter
* 80 g cashews
* 1/2 tsp sea salt
* 1 tsp cocoa powder  Instructions
* For this recipe you will need a silicone chocolate bar mould or a tray lined with baking parchment.
* Soak the dates in boiling water for a couple of hours. Drain.
* Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Taste, and add more salt if required. I like these 'salted caramel' bars to be quite salty, so I add a bit more salt.
* Press the mixture evenly into your silicone mould or prepared tin. Place in the freezer for at least two hours, ideally overnight.
* Take the bars out of the mould or if using a tin, cut into 6 bars.
* Wrap each bar in baking parchment and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Continue adding more plant based foods into your diet by making simple swaps. This ‘no egg mayo’ sandwich filler is made using firm tofu, plant-based mayo and black Himalayan salt.
