How To Make Vegan Mushroom Wellington Recipe
- Add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan and place over a low to medium-low heat. Add onions and reduce the heat to low. sprinkle salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally for about 10 to 15 minutes until onions turn brown. You have to be mindful of the onions to make sure they don’t catch.
- Then remove onions from pan and place back the pan to heat. Add the baby spinach, cook, until wilted. Remove the baby spinach from heat and allow it to cool.
- Return the pan to heat, increasing the heat to medium-high. Add the remaining olive oil and place the mushroom top side down. Cook for about 5 minutes until mushroom turn lightly golden before turning over and cooking for another 5 minutes or until golden.
- Remove from heat and drain on paper towel top side up as they will release a lot of liquid as they cool. Transfer mushroom, onions, and spinach to the refrigerator to cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius ( 390 F), placing the sheet of baking paper on the baking tray and place the puff pastry sheet on the top. Now, spread half the caramelized onions over the middle third of the pastry. Make sure you leave an extra 2cm (3/4 inch) border at the edge of the pastry. Then top with half of the baby spinach and spread the Dijon mustard over the mushroom and season well with pepper and salt. On the top of the mushrooms, place your spinach and top the mushroom with thyme and the remaining baby spinach and onions.
- Carefully roll the pastry over the top of the mushroom mixture until you have a log. Seal the edges by pressing it down. Roll over the log so that the seam is facing the bottom.
- Now let’s make the vegan egg wash. Whisk all the ingredients stated above in a bowl. Very lightly coat with the vegan egg wash. Place the pastry in the freezer for about 8 to 10 minutes before repeating with another layer of vegan egg wash and freezing the pastry for a further 10 mins.
- Lastly, place the pastry back on the baking sheet and tray and place in the oven for about 30 to 35 minutes or until its golden and flakey.
