    Veggie Wellington [Vegan]

    This is admittedly a bit time-consuming and a little fiddly, but the effort is worth it for that classic Wellington look, with a pink centre, surrounded by mushroom pâté and a crisp, buttery puff pastry casing.

    How to Prepare Plant-Based Veggie Wellington

    1. Make the pâté. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat and fry the onion and mushrooms for 5 minutes, until softened. Add the miso paste and vinegar and cook for a further 5 minutes, until everything is dark and sticky.
    2. Stir in the spinach and leave to wilt. Remove from the heat and put in a food processor along with the walnuts. Blitz to a smooth pâté.
    3. Preheat the oven to 425ºF and grease a roasting tray with butter.
    4. Next, make the filling. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and fry the onion and garlic for 5 minutes, until softened. Add the balsamic vinegar, yeast extract, and mushrooms, then cook for another 8 minutes until brown and sticky.
    5. Mix with the rest of the ingredients, season, and use a masher to combine everything into a thick, chunky mixture. You can also pulse in a food processor. Next, shape the filling into a large log shape, the length of the short side of the pastry sheet.
    6. Unroll the pastry and spread over a thick layer of the pâté, the width of the log. Place the log on top and cover it with the rest of the pâté. Don’t worry if it looks messy!
    7. Gently pull the puff pastry up and around the log, tucking in the edges of the pastry as you go, so it is completely covered. Seal the two ends together with aquafaba or milk, then turn the wellington over so that the seal is hidden underneath.
    8. Brush the whole log with aquafaba or milk to glaze and use any excess pastry to decorate the top and glaze that too. Bake for 25 minutes until puffed and golden.
    9. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into 2.5cm/1in thick slices to serve.
