PLNT, a Dutch plant-based food producer, will be the first ready-to-eat beef wellington with zero animal products. Many companies over the years have attempted to make it, and now PLNT had developed one with the same flavor, texture, and even smell of a traditional beef wellington. It is now available at Crisp, a Dutch online supermarket, and they plan to expand their rollout later this year.

PLNT is a part of the Future Food Group, which offers other plant-based products like chicken, beef burgers, sausages, kebabs, and more! They are even working to make a plant-based fish burger and a cheese alternative.

The meat substitute market has grown by 8 percent in 2021 in the Netherlands. The meat substitutes monitor found that 54 percent of the Dutch were already flexitarian, vegetarian, or vegan in 2021.

“In 2022, this beautiful dish should not only be available to meat eaters. We thought that it should be possible to develop a vegan variety of this: just as tasty and juicy as the original, but more sustainable and healthier,” said Marleen Kolijn, Sr. Brand Manager at PLNT.

When making this dish, they set out to make it just like the original but completely vegan.

Jos Havekotte, Manager of Innovation at PLNT said, “We took on this challenge with great enthusiasm. To offer a real innovation with Beef Wellington as a starting point. Creating this classic dish but next level, that is something we wanted to sink our teeth into! Because we work with a team of experts, we were ultimately able to develop a delicious product, with the taste of the original Beef Wellington. Made with specially developed vegan minced meat with spicy mushrooms and crispy puff pastry.”

We’ve all been to a family holiday like Easter and haven’t had many options for vegan food. This already made beef wellington is perfect to bring to family holidays or even just to have on hand for a ready-to-eat weeknight dinner. Who knows, maybe a meat-eater in your life will love it and make the switch!
